(Senior) Hr Generalist (F/M/D)

At ALAIKA we are building the future of Financial Services, and we want your help to do so! 

Our vision is to build the leading challenger firm within Financial Services by pairing leading business and technology expertise. 20 years ago, insurance companies and banks had to compete with their peers, and today, they must compete with global tech companies. However, throughout this time, the setup of the global consulting landscape has stayed the same. 

Founded in October 2022 by the EMEA Financial Services Practice Lead Partner of a leading US strategy consultancy and a builder of multiple leading software companies, we already bring together the best of both worlds: Deep functional Financial Services domain expertise/networks, and a track record of how to build and invest into leading software product companies. 

To properly advise Fortune 500 Financial Services companies in today's and tomorrow's world, we believe in creating a new ecosystem that combines the knowledge of tech, venture, and product building with that of leading financial service domains. This all begins by coupling the right people for the job, which is exactly what we do at ALAIKA - and why we need you! 

Join ALAIKA Advisory and our team of experts in supporting our clients in all kinds of strategic transformations as well as our three key domains: Cybersecurity, Data Analytics & AI, and ESG/Climate Tech.
