FTI Consulting is the leading global expert firm for organizations facing crisis and transformation. We work with many of the world’s top multinational corporations, law firms, banks and private equity firms on their most important issues to deliver impact that makes a difference. From resolving disputes, navigating crises, managing risk and optimizing performance, our teams respond rapidly to dynamic and complex situations.


At FTI Consulting, you’ll work side‑by‑side with leaders who have shaped history, helping solve the biggest challenges making headlines today. From day one, you’ll be an integral part of a focused team where you can make a real impact. You’ll be surrounded by an open, collaborative culture that embraces diversity, recognition, professional development and, most importantly, you.


Are you ready to make your impact?


About The Role

In FTI Consulting’s Economic and Financial Consulting (EFC) practice, we help our clients navigate legal, regulatory and international arbitration proceedings while supporting strategic decision‑making and public policy debates around the world. Delivering incisive interpretations of complex economic issues has made us a global leader in this field.


In Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), we have teams based in numerous cities such as London, Paris, and Munich, who work closely with teams around the globe. The London team comprises over 180 professional staff.


The Capital Markets Services team within EFC advises decision‑makers in diverse circumstances. We provide expertise in complex financial instruments and derivatives to clients globally. We cumulate decades of experience in trading, investment management, valuation and risk management covering multiple asset classes including equity, fixed income, credit, commodities, foreign exchange, interest rates and energy.


We serve a wide range of market participants and offer cross‑industry expertise to clients globally (buy side, sell side, financial intermediaries and regulators), in special and complex situations, for example:



  • Valuation and Risk Management: We combine our quantitative skills with unrivaled industry expertise, market research, cutting‑edge technology and insightful data to provide informed and pragmatic valuation solutions. We leverage our critical thinking, trading, investment management and valuation expertise as well as our proprietary models, cutting‑edge technology and data analytics capabilities to provide best‑of‑class, tailored and strategic operational, market, credit, liquidity and model risk advice and solutions.
  • Disputes, Litigation & Arbitration: We leverage our trading, investment management, valuation, risk management and regulation knowledge to provide independent expertise and testimony in disputes, litigation and arbitration globally.
  • Investigations: We rely on our deep expertise with financial instruments and trading environments to assist market participants or regulators in the context of investigations.
  • Transaction Advisory: We provide support in transactions where trading, valuation and risk expertise are central to understanding and valuing a financial instrument in the context of mergers, acquisitions, liquidation, close‑outs or restructurings.

What You’ll Do

This is a full‑time position within the Capital Market Services team.


As a Consultant in Capital Market Services, you will primarily work with the Capital Markets Services team but may be involved in the full range of EFC’s work or with other practices at FTI, with a focus on the financial, commodity and energy markets.


Consultants are centrally involved in conducting research and analysis. They are expected – under the guidance of more senior team members – to be able to carry out quantitative, industry, and market analysis, take responsibility for the completeness and accuracy of their own research and analyses, and report their findings in a clear, concise and structured way, either verbally or in writing.


The role will also involve:



  • Supporting the senior team with writing articles and preparing proposals and presentations for new opportunities;
  • Performing research and collaborating in the implementation of proprietary valuation and risk management solutions; and
  • Implementing practical and effective solutions to address client issues, by bringing industry insight and experiences.

How You’ll Grow

We offer a competitive and attractive rewards package, excellent training and development, opportunities to work abroad, and a supportive and friendly environment that will help you achieve your potential. The skills and experience you will develop with us will stand you in good stead for the rest of your career.


What You Will Need to Succeed

Suitable candidates will be problem‑solvers who enjoy developing and applying bespoke approaches to solve complex, unstructured problems in a logical manner. Candidates will have strong analytical skills and be able to explain their work and communicate their conclusions and findings clearly, both verbally and in writing. The ideal candidate will have an eye for both the big picture and the finer details.


In addition, the following emerging knowledge and competencies are desired:



  • A good understanding of financial instruments, derivatives valuation and risk management techniques in at least one asset class (equity, fixed income, credit, foreign exchange, interest rates, commodities, energy);
  • Familiarity with global financial market policies and regulations;
  • Knowledge of recent financial market developments, such as algorithmic trading, ESG investments, cryptocurrencies and digital assets markets, and derivatives;
  • Capacity to critically evaluate different sources of information and assumptions;
  • Ability to implement and apply robust methods to address complex economic and financial issues;
  • Ability to produce high‑quality work and create efficiencies in research and analytical tasks in a restricted time environment;
  • Good time management skills while managing and prioritising multiple tasks;
  • Experience in summarising analysis and conducting research, in support of producing reports or presentations;
  • Proficiency in MS Word, Excel and PowerPoint;
  • Intermediate programming knowledge (e.g. Python, R Studio, C++); and
  • Working knowledge of financial systems and data providers (e.g. Bloomberg, Reuters);
  • Proficiency in speaking and writing in another European language is considered a plus.

Basic Qualifications

The qualifications and experience that we typically look for in Consultant candidates:



  • BA/BSc, MSc or PhD in a quantitative discipline;
  • Relevant work experience and/or academic background in quantitative finance, derivative valuation or risk management roles in investment banking, asset management or energy/commodity sector; and
  • At least two years of professional experience and/or extracurricular activities to demonstrate the ability to be an effective Consultant and alignment with our firm’s values of integrity, creativity, achievement, respect and empathy.

Preferred Qualifications

  • In the process of completing or having completed a relevant professional qualification (e.g. CFA, CQF, FRM, CAIA, etc.) is considered an advantage; and
  • Prior work experience in an advisory capacity and prior experience at delivering work product in a contentious context (litigation, arbitration, investigations or disputes) is considered a plus.

Total Wellbeing

Our goal is to support the wellbeing of you and your families - physically, emotionally, and financially. We offer market competitive benefits (including pension), supplemented by 15 flexible benefits, to meet your needs. These include health, lifestyle and family friendly options. We also offer professional development programme, wellness, recognition, community volunteering initiatives, and flexible/hybrid working arrangements.

Data Science Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Thinking about switching into data science in your 30s, 40s or 50s? You’re far from alone. Across the UK, businesses are investing in data science talent to turn data into insight, support better decisions and unlock competitive advantage. But with all the hype about machine learning, Python, AI and data unicorns, it can be hard to separate real opportunities from noise. This article gives you a practical, UK-focused reality check on data science careers for mid-life career switchers — what roles really exist, what skills employers really hire for, how long retraining typically takes, what UK recruiters actually look for and how to craft a compelling career pivot story. Whether you come from finance, marketing, operations, research, project management or another field entirely, there are meaningful pathways into data science — and age itself is not the barrier many people fear.

How to Write a Data Science Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Data science plays a critical role in how organisations across the UK make decisions, build products and gain competitive advantage. From forecasting and personalisation to risk modelling and experimentation, data scientists help translate data into insight and action. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right data science candidates. Job adverts often generate high volumes of applications, but few applicants have the mix of analytical skill, business understanding and communication ability the role actually requires. At the same time, experienced data scientists skip over adverts that feel vague, inflated or misaligned with real data science work. In most cases, the issue is not a lack of talent — it is the quality and clarity of the job advert. Data scientists are analytical, sceptical of hype and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals unclear expectations and immature data practices. A well-written one signals credibility, focus and serious intent. This guide explains how to write a data science job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and positions your organisation as a strong data employer.

Maths for Data Science Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

If you are applying for data science jobs in the UK, the maths can feel like a moving target. Job descriptions say “strong statistical knowledge” or “solid ML fundamentals” but they rarely tell you which topics you will actually use day to day. Here’s the truth: most UK data science roles do not require advanced pure maths. What they do require is confidence with a tight set of practical topics that come up repeatedly in modelling, experimentation, forecasting, evaluation, stakeholder comms & decision-making. This guide focuses on the only maths most data scientists keep using: Statistics for decision making (confidence intervals, hypothesis tests, power, uncertainty) Probability for real-world data (base rates, noise, sampling, Bayesian intuition) Linear algebra essentials (vectors, matrices, projections, PCA intuition) Calculus & gradients (enough to understand optimisation & backprop) Optimisation & model evaluation (loss functions, cross-validation, metrics, thresholds) You’ll also get a 6-week plan, portfolio projects & a resources section you can follow without getting pulled into unnecessary theory.
