Through structured change management and cross-team coordination, we ensure alignment and embed new capabilities across the firm.

As a Senior Analyst, you'll work alongside the Managing Director transforming concepts into delivered outcomes. We own the full lifecycle: business analysis, solution design, and implementation.
