Simon-Kucher & PartnersAbout the role
Senior Manager - Financial Services - Americas
An emerging practice leader in training—built for impact, growth, and ownership.
If you’re a Financial Services consultant who’s ready to move beyond “owning a workstream” and start leading full engagements, guiding teams, and shaping client outcomes, this role is designed for you. You’ll operate as a future leader of the Financial Services practice—developing the commercial instincts, executive presence, and firm-building muscles to grow into a practice leadership role.
Simon-Kucher is the world’s leading growth specialist. We help clients unlock measurable revenue and profit by optimizing the full commercial engine—customer engagement, product, pricing, innovation, marketing, distribution, and sales—grounded in quantitative analytics, research, and behavioral science.
Our Financial Services team partners with leaders across Banking, Fintech, Payments, Wealth & Asset Management, and Insurance, as well as private equity investors, to tackle their most important monetization and growth opportunities. In the Americas, you’ll join a dedicated FS team (20+ consultants led by partners across the US, Canada, and LATAM) with global support from ~125 FS professionals.
- Become part of a unique entrepreneurial team. Think independently, use your initiative, and take some risks. Entrepreneurship is a powerful force that drives the growth not only of our firm but our clients and people.
- Unlock the power of opportunity. Advance your career in a thriving company with a startup feel. We invest in your professional development every step of the way.
- Work in a values-driven culture. At Simon-Kucher, our vision is to become the world's leading growth specialist. Our values guide the way we do business and communicate our distinctiveness. They sum up what we stand for, influence our culture, and drive how and why we do things.
- Invest in your future. All US and Canadian employees enjoy 401(k) & RRSP benefits with company matching.
- Prioritize your health and well-being. No matter where you live, we offer a competitive suite of health benefits to help keep you and your loved ones safe.
- Enjoy balance and flexible working. Be empowered to do your best work – whether it’s from home or in the office.
- Why this role is different
- This is not a “project manager” job. It’s a leadership accelerator.
