About the Firm
We are a delivery-led technology, change and transformation consultancy within a global talent and advisory group supporting many of the world's leading financial services organisations.

Founded to bring a fresh, pragmatic alternative to traditional consulting, we combine deep subject-matter expertise with the agility and cost-efficiency of a modern delivery model. Our teams partner with clients to design, deliver and embed change - blending permanent and flexible expertise to accelerate transformation while transferring knowledge back into client organisations.

Following the success of our European practice, we are expanding into Asia with the launch of our Hong Kong consulting hub - supporting clients who value trusted partnerships, measurable outcomes and consulting built around delivery, not theory.



The Opportunity

We're seeking an accomplished Director of Consulting to lead our new Hong Kong practice.

You'll hold end-to-end accountability for the consulting business in-region - from market strategy and client acquisition to delivery governance, financial performance and practice leadership. This is a rare opportunity to establish and shape a new consulting brand in one of the world's most dynamic markets, backed by an established global group with deep Financial Services relationships.



What You'll Do

  • Define and execute the market strategy for Hong Kong and wider Asia

  • Develop propositions and originate opportunities through your own network and in collaboration with group client teams

  • Take ownership of the P&L, including forecasting, pricing, utilisation, margin management and investment planning

  • Provide executive sponsorship and governance for all engagements, ensuring successful, high-quality delivery

  • Establish standards for delivery excellence, client satisfaction and risk management

  • Build and mentor a high-performing team, embedding scalable processes and shaping the firm's consulting culture across Asia



What We're Looking For

  • Extensive consulting experience in technology, change or transformation within Financial Services in Hong Kong or Asia

  • Proven success in P&L or business-unit ownership, ideally within a start-up or scale-up consulting environment

  • Track record of winning, structuring and delivering complex client programmes

  • Strong governance, quality assurance and stakeholder management skills

  • Experience in building or leading a practice or service line, including proposition and talent development



You'll Thrive Here If You're

  • Entrepreneurial, self-starting and commercially astute

  • A credible and relationship-driven communicator

  • Resilient, adaptable and comfortable operating in ambiguity

  • A collaborative leader who inspires confidence and drives results



Why Join

This is an opportunity to build a consulting practice from the ground up - with the backing, client network and infrastructure of a global organisation. You'll have the autonomy to shape the local proposition, accountability for growth and delivery, and the chance to define what great consulting looks like across Asia.
