At ALAIKA, our vision is to build the future of Financial Services with
three brands under one roof — Advisory (Strategy Consulting), Capital (Private Equity), Building (Company Builder). Right now, we are
in the midst of
building our trojan horse ALAIKA Advisory.
The ambition: building the leading Financial-Services-specific entrepreneurial holding — Fortune 500 access, PE discipline, Silicon Valley technology-depth and thinking.
Three networks that compound and multiply.
One industry.
Financial Services. Nothing else.
One focus.
The intersection of business and technology — across Strategic Transformations, AI & Data Intelligence, and Cybersecurity.
One goal.
Being the go-to partner for the world's leading Fortune 500 financial services companies — and the ones we might help build into that.
Founded in October 2022 by
Johanna von Geyr
(build-up and led Financial Services Practice for a NASDAQ-listed strategy consultancy) and
Harald Braunstein
(serial entrepreneur with exits incl. IPO), we bring together deep functional domain expertise and networks in global Financial Services, with a proven track record in building, scaling, and investing in leading software product companies.

and what you will work on
Advise.
Take on the most pressing strategic and technology challenges of the world’s leading financial services companies — across
Strategy, Data & AI, and Cyber. In the room with decision-makers from day one.
Own.
Own your deliverables
and your client relationships end-to-end.
You are not support
staff
for
the
partnership.
Lead.
Run workstreams and projects independently.
Multiply the output of everyone around you
— not just your own.
Sell.
Drive business development that other strategic consultancies reserve for managers and partners. At ALAIKA, building the business is not a privilege
reserved for managers and partners.
It is an expectation.
Grow.
Become the rare profile the market is short on — analytical mastermind, financial services expert, entrepreneurial dealmaker.
Partner-track
from
day
one.
Build.
We are scaling, with real building left to do — IP, processes, go-to-market, strategy. You do not just deliver client work;
you co-build the firm .
That
is
not a
slogan
—
it
is
your
Tuesday.
When you are a fit
“Show me an athlete who did well academically. An athlete because they know what it takes to win and they have had to experience loss.”
— Kenneth C. Griffin, Founder of Citadel
You will work alongside intrinsically driven people chasing an uncapped career — people who do "what it takes". You fear "being one more number stuck in middle management".
Your goal is to make it to the top: at ALAIKA itself, at a leading investment or financial services firm,
or in a company you build yourself — ALAIKA can help with that too.
Book-smart.
Strong academic foundation. Think
in
structures, not gut feel.
Street-smart.
Read the room fast.
Prioritise
ruthlessly. Grasp commercial reality.
People-smart.
Communicate with precision — clear, direct, persuasive.
Build
trust
across
functions
and
seniority.
Athlete performance mindset.
High aspirations. Grit. Learn faster than the environment changes.
Entrepreneurial guts.
Self-confident achiever.
Act
first,
apologise
later
— speed is everything . Take full ownership of work normally reserved for far more senior profiles.
What
you
bring
Background.
Top 10–20% of your class at a top-tier university. Analytical field — CS, Math, Physics, Finance, or equivalent
rigour.
Experience.
1–2+ years in a high-pressure, results-driven environment — top strategy consultancy, PE/VC-backed company, fast-growing tech, or demanding corporate financial services role. Hands-on Data and / or AI experience
required. Financial services experience preferred.
Leadership.
You have led — a team, a club, a project, a cause.
We hire people who make things happen.
Analytical edge.
Data-driven by default. Leverage data to drive decisions, not just decorate slides.
Languages.
Fluent in English and German.
Additional
languages are a plus.
