Job Description


Expand are seeking a Lead Analyst or Project Leader to help support and drive a large, growing book of work aligned to front office Investment Banking and Capital Markets sector. The successful candidate will be expected to successfully contribute to revenue growth and innovation to their domain and ensure successful completion of projects with experience and flexibility.


The successful candidate will have responsibility for strategic decision support for our clients through Expand’s syndicated benchmarking and market research in the Investment Banking and Capital Markets industry. This role will include detailed discussions with our clients, strategic case work, building storylines, detailed data benchmarking, research and understanding. You will help guide their C-suite in making strategic conclusions using the insight you share. You will also play a significant role in Expand hosted community forums, facilitating peer-to-peer discussions and sharing industry best practice. We are looking for a proactive, curious and diligent individual; an systematic and articulate problem solver who will play a key role in the Practice Area.


Key responsibilities will include:

  • Working on direct to client as well as strategic pieces with BCG clients
  • Leading client and internal meetings effectively
  • Ensuring that clients are satisfied and project timelines are met
  • Drawing actionable insights and stories out of data
  • Working collaboratively with colleagues to ensure the programme’s membership remains high


While oversight is provided by senior team members, Expand’s culture puts emphasis on personal ownership at every stage of an employee’s career. Furthermore, Lead Analysts/PLs play a central role in all aspects of the delivery lifecycle, from supporting sales through to initial data collection, analysis, visualisation and communication of the findings, allowing for a great deal of diversity on the job and the development of a broad skills set. You will have a high level of direct client exposure, which in many cases reaches C-level executives.


We are looking for a proactive, curious and diligent individual: an analytical and articulate problem solver who will spearhead the analysis delivery process. The role involves learning and increasing business knowledge quickly, with the resulting opportunity to progress internally.
