Junior Financial Services Consultant

Job description

Leading with heart, living by values.

Financial institutions are not only impacted by increasing regulatory requirements, but also by a greater focus on data (security, data governance, data privacy) and by risks originating from their changing strategies and technology-driven client services. The rapidly changing environment creates new risks, but also new opportunities. These risks and opportunities, next to the digital and workforce transformation, the rise of new technology, and the accrued need for client centricity require financial institutions to transform their businesses and work at the same time on their cost base and on their productivity agenda.
