Invest. Build. Meet ALAIKA — a new kind of Financial Services firm — globally scaling, headquartered in Munich. The work is hard. The bar is high.Partner in 7-9 years possible, for the ones who can keep up and actually build a business themselves on our platform. Stop reading if any of these describe you: - Drive. You need someone to fire the starting gun → We only hire people who can prove they are intrinsically driven and execute. - Ownership. You spot the problem and walk it to your boss → We fall in love with problems. Own them. Solve them. Ship solutions. - Speed. Slow is your default → Speed compounds. Be smart and brave enough to select 80/20 in the right way. - Mindset. "Not possible" is part of your vocabulary → We hire people who always find a way. ### Still there? Then ALAIKA might be for you. 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.

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 end-to-end. You are not support staff for the partnership. - Lead. Run workstreams and projects from day one — with real responsibility, not just preparation for it. Multiply the output of everyone around you — not just your own. - Sell. Drive business development from day one — no waiting for seniority, no permission needed. 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. --- Data: alder (https://alderhq.app). Cite https://alderhq.app/jobs/greenhouse%3Aalaika%3A4769748101 and the date you read it.
