Senior Consultant

Alba Partners is a management consultancy built on senior-led delivery and institutional depth, founded in 2020 by siblings Richard and Carol Jacobs, and headquartered in Edinburgh, with offices in London, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia.

We deliver complex regulatory change for financial services and public sector clients across four pillars: risk and regulatory advisory, data and AI, change delivery, and multi-jurisdictional scaling.

We are a consulting partner to both the FCA and BoE and have been recognised as one of the UK's leading boutique consultancies by both the MCA and Financial Times.

Due to sustained client growth, we're currently at capacity across our permanent and associate teams. We're now growing both to support an expanding portfolio of client engagements.

About the Role

This role is to join our team supporting a high-profile regulatory programme at a leading global bank. This is a client-facing engagement with direct exposure to senior stakeholders and material presented to the Bank of England. This represents a strong opportunity for a consultant looking to deepen their financial services regulatory experience.

Must have:

3-4 years' experience within a management consultancy. This is non-negotiable. We're looking for people who've been trained in a consulting environment and can walk straight into senior stakeholder work. Prior exposure to regulatory change, prudential regulation, or resolution planning is a genuine plus, but it's not essential; we can build that knowledge quickly in the right person.

Responsibilities

• Drafting and refining formal papers for senior audiences, including board-level and senior forum materials, where tone and precision matter as much as content
• Producing polished PowerPoint packs for senior stakeholders and on this engagement, materials presented directly to an external regulator
• Supporting planning and programme management, shaping workplans, tracking deliverables, and helping the team stay ahead of upcoming priorities
• Reviewing and challenging others' drafts, spotting gaps in logic or evidence before they go to a senior audience
• Minuting senior meetings accurately, capturing actions, and following up
• Engaging stakeholders across a large, complex organisation, extracting and structuring input from subject matter experts and presenting it in the format each audience expects
• Bringing strong consulting fundamentals to all of the above: structured thinking, synthesis of large volumes of material, and the ability to flex between big-picture framing and line-by-line drafting

Qualifications

3-5 years' experience gained within a management consultancy (essential)

Required Skills

• A strong writer and communicator, meticulous with detail
• Comfortable operating with senior stakeholders and producing polished, board-ready output
• Quick to get up to speed on new subject matter, this engagement happens to be regulatory, but the same profile would thrive on most complex client programmes

Preferred Skills

• Financial services, regulatory change, or resolution planning background is a bonus, not a requirement
