Our Business Analyst (BA) Kinetics Programme is a two year programme which gives you an immersive, hands-on experience. You’ll develop an in-depth understanding and knowledge of business consulting, working on client projects with leading financial services institutions, as well as receiving formal training. Individuals join our BA Kinetics Programme at Analyst or Consultant Analyst level, depending on experience.
The programme consists of modules aligned to four core objective areas: financial & commercial skills, managing client relationships, creating a great company & culture, and developing personal skills (which will encompass training to support and build your financial services knowledge, technical skills and soft skills, as well as sponsorship to obtain an industry recognised certification).
These modules are designed to help you to develop across a number of areas and build your network, whilst supporting our business growth. You will be assessed by formal examinations, interviews, presentations and feedback on the materials you deliver.
During your time on the programme you will work on a number of different client assignments. We will ensure that you have the appropriate training and you'll be part of a New Link Consulting team, specifically put together to ensure an optimal mix of skills and experience.
Your assignments will be great opportunities to develop your relationship management, influencing and stakeholder communication skills.
Assignments will generally be as part of a project delivery team, focusing on such areas as regulatory-driven transformation / remediation, risk and control optimisation, or target operating model design and implementation.
You will be supported by a career coach and an assignment lead. A career coach will provide mentorship and coaching and will work with you to develop your career goals, set objectives, identify development needs and build action plans.
An assignment lead will set your day-to-day deliverables while you are on an assignment and will liaise with your career coach to ensure that your individual development needs are met. Graduation from the scheme is a pre-requisite for promotion to the Senior Consultant grade.
The successful candidate will typically have 18 months to 3 years work experience in financial services, in a consultancy and / or financial institution (such as an investment bank, asset manager or clearing house). We are looking for individuals who display evidence of strong analytical skills and well developed communication and relationship building abilities.
We value people of all levels who demonstrate proactivity in terms of driving both their own career growth, as well as the development of others, in a collaborative way.
We are a young and entrepreneurial consultancy and look to work with dynamic people who bring innovative ideas to both New Link Consulting and our clients.
