Principal Consultant – Payments | Financial Services | Consulting | London | £150k+ DOE | Hybrid working, with regular office attendance and client-site delivery

Are you an experienced management consultant with a track record of leading payments transformation and change programmes within financial services?

Are you looking for an opportunity to combine senior client delivery with business development, relationship management and a wider role in developing a growing consulting practice?

At Projective Group, we work with banks, payment providers and other financial institutions to solve complex payments challenges. From large-scale transformation and operating model design to regulatory change and modernisation initiatives, we help our clients navigate an evolving payments landscape and deliver meaningful business outcomes.

We're looking for a Principal Consultant to join our UK Payments Practice, bringing strong consulting experience, a solid understanding of the payments industry and a proven ability to lead complex client engagements.

This role combines hands-on consulting leadership with the opportunity to work alongside senior colleagues to strengthen and grow our Payments Practice. You'll take responsibility for delivering client programmes, developing key relationships and supporting new business opportunities, while contributing to the continued development of our capabilities and consulting team.

Bring Your Expertise to Life at Projective Group; imagine a day where you:

  • Lead complex payments transformation and change programmes for banks and financial institutions, including initiatives driven by evolving payment infrastructures, industry standards and regulatory requirements from 2027 onwards.
  • Act as a trusted adviser to senior client stakeholders, providing strategic guidance and practical solutions to payments-related business challenges.
  • Manage relationships with key payments clients, understanding their priorities, identifying opportunities and helping to develop long-term partnerships.
  • Lead the development of sales proposals, client presentations and responses to RFPs, working with colleagues to secure new consulting engagements.
  • Contribute to the growth and development of our UK Payments Practice, working alongside senior leaders to strengthen our capabilities, develop new opportunities and support the recruitment of payments consultants.
  • Represent Projective Group at payments industry events, building relationships, sharing market insights and strengthening our presence within the payments community.
  • Collaborate with our Strategy Service Line and wider consulting teams, bringing together relevant expertise to develop client solutions and support business growth.
  • Share your experience with colleagues, mentoring consultants and contributing to a collaborative, high-performing consulting environment.

Is This You?

  • Significant experience within a management consultancy or specialist financial services consultancy, delivering complex client engagements and transformation initiatives involving payments.
  • Proven experience leading complex programmes, taking accountability for delivery outcomes while managing senior stakeholders, project teams and competing priorities.
  • A strong understanding of the UK and European payments landscape, including forthcoming regulatory and industry developments such as CHAPS settlement changes, SWIFT messaging initiatives, SEPA rulebook updates and the digital euro.
  • Strong commercial awareness, with experience leading sales proposals, contributing to business development activities and managing senior client relationships.
  • Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, with the credibility to advise and influence senior executives and decision-makers.
  • Experience contributing to practice development, mentoring consultants and collaborating across consulting teams to develop client solutions and new opportunities.
  • A pragmatic, collaborative approach to consulting, with the ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on delivery and adapt to different client environments.

Why Join Projective Group?

  • Enjoy the autonomy and opportunity to influence a growing consulting practice, where your ideas, experience and contributions can make a genuine difference.
  • Work alongside experienced payments specialists and consulting professionals across our international business, sharing knowledge and expertise.
  • Be part of a collaborative consultancy that values entrepreneurship, pragmatism and selflessness, where good ideas are valued regardless of job title.
  • Benefit from a generous annual training allowance, professional development opportunities and support from experienced colleagues.
  • Receive a competitive salary, bonus scheme and comprehensive benefits package, including healthcare and a non-contributory pension.
  • Work from our London office in the heart of the city, designed to support collaboration, learning and connection.
