Job description

Your Growth Unleashed Where your journey begins and your potential shines

At Synpulse, we don’t just consult – we transform. As a leading global management and technology consultancy with Swiss roots, we empower financial institutions to navigate change and seize new opportunities. Since 1996, we've been shaping the future of financial services by delivering cutting-edge expertise in strategy, operations, and technology to banks and insurers worldwide.

What sets us apart is our people. At Synpulse, we cultivate a collaborative, high-impact culture where initiative and creativity are valued. With 21 offices across Europe, the Americas, and Asia-Pacific, we bring together diverse perspectives and talents. We believe innovation thrives where everyone feels they belong and can contribute.

Our core values – Embrace, Drive, Achieve – shape how we work and grow. We don’t just offer jobs – we offer the opportunity to grow, make a difference, and be part of a team that’s redefining the future of financial services.

Overview As a Senior Consultant in our UK Banking Advisory practice, you will play a hands-on role delivering complex change initiatives for private banking and wealth management clients. This is a delivery-focused role for those who enjoy working close to the business, shaping solutions and seeing them implemented.

You will operate with a high degree of autonomy, owning workstreams, engaging senior client stakeholders and contributing to the growth of Synpulse’s UK practice through thought leadership and proposition development.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and deliver end-to-end workstreams across private banking and wealth management transformation programmes.
  • Work directly with front office, operations, IT and compliance stakeholders to diagnose issues, define requirements and design pragmatic solutions.
  • Design and implement target operating models (TOMs) covering business, operating and functional layers.
  • Analyse and re-engineer core banking and wealth processes (e.g. onboarding, KYC, client lifecycle management, portfolio management, advisory workflows).
  • Facilitate and lead client workshops, including senior stakeholder sessions, to elicit requirements, align priorities and drive decisions.
  • Apply structured project and change management approaches to manage delivery risk, dependencies and outcomes.
  • Contribute to digital, automation and AI initiatives, including workflow optimisation, straight-through processing and the adoption of new platforms.
  • Support account development through opportunity identification, proposal input and client relationship building.
  • Actively contribute beyond delivery through thought leadership, new offerings and internal capability building.
  • Demonstrable experience in UK Financial Services, with direct exposure to private banking and/or wealth management. While there is no fixed minimum threshold of experience required working in these sectors, candidates for these roles would typically have had exposure to these sectors (or equivalent relevant experience) for at least three years.
  • Proven experience delivering practical change initiatives, either within a consulting firm, or in an internal transformation / change role within a bank or wealth manager.
  • Hands-on involvement in business or operating model change, particularly TOM design and implementation.
  • Strong experience in process analysis and redesign, ideally using recognised methodologies (e.g. Lean, Six Sigma. BPMN).
  • Demonstrated experience managing or leading project workstreams, including planning, execution and stakeholder management.
  • Solid understanding of private banking and wealth management value chains, products and client journeys.
  • Exposure to core banking platforms (Avaloq), wealth platforms, CRM, onboarding/KYC systems, or similar technologies.
  • Understanding of UK regulatory and compliance considerations affecting private banks and wealth managers.
  • Able to work independently and proactively, taking ownership of outcomes.
  • Strong stakeholder management and communication skills, with the confidence to challenge and influence.
  • Comfortable working in complex, ambiguous environments and translating analysis into action.
  • Entrepreneurial mindset with an interest in growing accounts, developing offerings and shaping the practice.
  • Bachelor’s degree required with a minimum of second-class honours (or overseas equivalent) or equivalent experience; advanced degree (MBA, MSc, MA) or professional qualifications are a bonus.
  • Relevant certifications (e.g. Agile, Lean Six Sigma, Change Management) are advantageous but not essential.

This role is based in Central London; the applicant must have the unrestricted right to work in the United Kingdom and be willing to work in person in London on at least a hybrid basis.

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
