Job Requirement

We are currently recruiting for an Associate Consultant to contribute across a number of consulting engagements within investment bank clients. The role would suit an ambitious person interested in getting exposure to the capital markets, contracts, contract data, operations, and technology.

Evolving banking regulations necessitate continued monitoring and enhancement of these contracts.  For example, amendments are required to these contracts to react to the replacement of LIBOR.  This change is affecting millions of financial contracts used by banks around the world.
