• Act as a trusted advisor to senior executives on digital money, stablecoins, tokenized deposits, blockchain-enabled and cross-border payments, payment modernization, digital asset products and supporting operating models and infrastructure.

• Provide executive leadership across complex strategy and transformation engagements, maintaining accountability for client outcomes, delivery quality, commercial performance and senior stakeholder relationships.

• Help shape and execute Capco’s Digital Assets growth agenda by developing differentiated propositions, building ecosystem relationships and bringing together strategy, banking, payments, technology, data, risk and regulatory capabilities.

What We’re Looking For

• Significant consulting, advisory or financial services experience, with experience operating at a senior consulting leadership level and owning and growing major financial services accounts.

• A strong commercial track record of originating, shaping and closing consulting opportunities, creating pipeline and building sustained relationships with senior executives across banking and payments.

• Strong knowledge of digital assets and their application within banking and payments, including stablecoins, tokenized deposits, digital money, blockchain-enabled payments, tokenization and distributed ledger technology.

• Experience leading complex strategy, transformation, operating model and technology-enabled engagements, combined with strong commercial judgment, executive communication and the ability to manage multiple priorities.

Bonus Points For

• Experience developing propositions and go-to-market strategies within digital assets, payments modernization or emerging payment infrastructure.

• Established relationships across the broader banking, payments, fintech, technology or digital asset ecosystem.

• Experience helping clients move from strategic ambition through business case, proposition design, operating model, technology decisions, implementation and scaled adoption.
