Leaders for banks, fintechs and investment firms
Technology, risk, transformation and commercial leaders for banking, payments, fintech and asset management.
Speak to our teamFinancial services is where regulation, technology and customer expectations collide. Banks are modernising core systems, regulators are raising the bar on risk and resilience, and fintechs are competing for the same technology and product talent.
We recruit the leaders who sit at that junction: technology and transformation heads, risk and compliance leaders, and commercial leaders for banks, payment firms, fintechs and investment houses.
Financial services roles we recruit
What makes financial services hiring different
Regulators shape the role
Central bank and regulator expectations define many senior roles. We check candidates have faced those regulators.
Resilience is now a board topic
Operational resilience, BCM and third-party risk have moved up the agenda. This links closely to our ServiceNow IRM work.
Fintech and bank cultures differ
A great bank leader can struggle in a scale-up, and the other way round. We test for pace and ownership.
Background checks matter more
Fitness and propriety, references and conflict checks are part of every financial services search we run.
How we assess financial services leaders
- Regulation: which regulators they have worked with, and on what
- Change: core system, digital or data programmes they led
- Risk: incidents, audits and findings they handled
- Scale: customers, assets, budget and teams they owned
- Culture: bank, fintech or both, and how they adapted
