At Projective Group, we’re looking for a data‑led consultant who’s ready to help our clients in the financial sector strengthen the way they work with data.
Financial institutions want to scale AI responsibly. That requires trustworthy data, clear governance, compliant controls, and evidence that the environment is “AI‑ready.” As a consultant, you’ll guide AI readiness assessments for banks, insurers, and other financial players to build that evidence and strengthen the way they organise, protect, and leverage their data.
You will shape the assessment, engage senior stakeholders, score maturity, and build the roadmap and operating model to unlock value from AI while meeting regulatory expectations.,.
We are Projective Group, a leading financial services consulting firm where innovation and technology meet business. By partnering with top industry platforms and combining domain knowledge with hands-on data management expertise, we help our clients become truly data focused.
