Senior Consultant — Data Strategy Consulting

Senior Consultant — Strategy Consulting, Data Economics

London | Permanent, Full Time | Competitive salary + bonus

The opportunity

Most consulting roles at this level ask you to support someone else's work. This one asks you to own yours.

This is a specialist boutique pioneering the field of Data Economics — quantifying what data is actually worth and helping organisations treat it as the strategic asset it is. Their clients are some of the UK's largest infrastructure, utilities, and transport organisations. The work shapes real decisions at board level.

They are looking for a Senior Consultant to join their delivery team. You will have 1–3 years of experience in consulting, financial analysis, or a closely related analytical discipline — enough to hit the ground running, take real ownership of your work, and grow quickly in a high-calibre environment.

What the work actually looks like

You will be part of a squad working on live client engagements, handling the analytical engine of every project. That means building financial models, conducting structured research, preparing client-ready outputs, and contributing directly to the investment cases and strategic recommendations that clients act on.

Day to day, you can expect to:

• Build and structure financial models, analytical frameworks, and data outputs to support client engagements
• Conduct rigorous research and produce initial outputs that feed directly into client deliverables
• Contribute to client-ready documents, presentations, and investment cases
• Use the firm's internal tools, methodologies, and accelerators to support delivery
• Manage your own workstreams with real ownership — not just task completion
• Begin to develop direct client-facing skills, with support from experienced practitioners

What we are looking for

You are intellectually curious, commercially aware, and someone who takes quality seriously. You check your own work. You ask good questions. You want to understand the problem, not just complete the task.

You will have:

• 1–3 years of experience in consulting, financial analysis, investment analysis, or a closely related analytical field
• Strong financial modelling or quantitative analytical skills — comfortable translating complex information into structured outputs
• The ability to produce clear, professional written documents and presentations
• An organised, structured approach — able to work to a brief, meet deadlines, and take ownership of defined work
• A degree in a relevant discipline — economics, mathematics, finance, engineering, or equivalent

You may be coming from:

• A strategy or data consultancy — PA Consulting, Baringa, Deloitte, EY, PwC, KPMG, or a specialist boutique
• A financial advisory, transaction services, or investment analysis role with strong modelling foundations
• An economics or analytical role in a regulated sector — infrastructure, utilities, transport, or financial services

You will not be a fit if:

• You are applying directly from university with internship experience only
• Your experience is primarily in technology delivery, data engineering, or governance implementation
• You have not yet had sustained exposure to client work, financial modelling, or structured analytical output

Why now, why this firm

The field is genuinely emerging. Data Economics is being defined right now. Joining early means growing with a discipline that is still taking shape — and being part of what it becomes.

The development is structured and real. You will be supported by experienced practitioners and given a clear path to grow across all four of the firm's domains: Data Economics & Valuation, Data Asset Management, Business Change, and Actionable Intelligence.

The culture is built on trust. A small, high-calibre team where your work is visible and your contribution counts from the start. No queue to get to interesting work — you are on live engagements from day one.

The package is thoughtfully designed. Competitive salary and bonus, private health cover with enhanced mental health support, generous family policies, and access to professional financial advice.

Flexibility with purpose. Around 60% in-person collaboration in London, with genuine autonomy to shape the rest of your week around where you do your best work.
