• Collaborate across Capco's Engineering, Architecture, Risk, Product, Innovation and Data teams to ensure strategic recommendations are actionable, commercially viable and aligned with responsible AI principles.
• Contribute to Capco's perspective on how AI is reshaping the financial services value chain and help develop market-leading propositions.
• Lead business development conversations, shape proposals and strengthen Capco's position as a trusted advisor in AI and data strategy.
• Mentor colleagues, fostering strategic thinking, innovation and the effective use of AI-enabled ways of working across the wider team.
• Develop strategy methodologies, accelerators and reusable assets that improve delivery quality, consistency and efficiency.

• 5+ years' experience in strategy consulting, digital transformation or corporate innovation, ideally within Financial Services.
