Detica's Global Financial Services (GFS) business unit serves the financial services industry, focusing on three areas:

Within global financial markets, we work with global investment banks, asset managers, private banks, prime brokers, exchanges, hedge funds and retail brokerages. Within retail banking and insurance, we work with all the top retail banks and across the general, life, pensions and broker/IFA insurance markets.

We offer our clients a complete range of consulting services from business strategy to systems development and implementation — all within key financial centres in the UK, the US and mainland Europe

The financial services sector faces increasingly critical and complex business and technology issues. Market trends such as globalisation, emerging economies, increased regulation and technological innovation across increasingly an diversified list of market participants are currently shaping the industry and provide huge challenges. Our consultants are uniquely positioned to help the industry's key players tackle these challenges.

The work we do can range from defining the optimal organizational model for a structured products middle office to developing a tool to identify fraudulent trading activity for an investment bank or improving the business performance of the internet channel for an insurance client. Our consultants are close to the industry's most critical issues and help to shape the industry every day.

To continue to expand our impact on the industry, we are looking for business and technology consultants at all levels who have a proven track record in global financial services.

Our business consultants work on a broad range of projects including strategy, architecture, program management and business analysis. Our technology consultants work on projects ranging from architecture and design through to systems development and implementation.

When not working with clients, our consultants contribute to business development activity and also contribute to the creation of industry-leading viewpoints, surveys and other offerings to better serve our clients, and enhance their product and market knowledge in order to support their career development.

We actively recruit intelligent, pragmatic self-starters with experience gained at consulting firms or financial institutions. Your colleagues come from a variety of backgrounds and have an impressive range of skills and personal interests, which makes for a dynamic and diverse work environment.

All of our consultants share two traits: a fascination with the financial services industry and a passion to contribute to Detica's success within that industry.
