Alpha Financial Markets Consulting  (Alpha

FMC) is the leading global consulting firm to the asset and wealth management industry. We are a people‑management consulting firm that offers the world’s asset and wealth managers a competitive edge through our expertise and industry insight. Our team is a uniquely high‑calibre group focusing solely on asset and wealth management where we build deep knowledge and experience within our industry.

We work with a blue‑chip client base, including 80% of the top 50 global asset‑management firms, and work with over 660 clients across the globe. We have our headquarters located in the United Kingdom and offices in other major European financial centres (Luxembourg, France, Switzerland, Netherlands, Germany) and globally across United States, Canada and Asia‑Pacific.

Following a hugely successful AIM listing where Alpha listed with a market cap of £160m in 2017, the company enjoyed substantive growth before being sold to one of the world’s leading quoted private asset‑growth investors (Bridgepoint) for £626m in August 2024. Thus, we are now at a critical turning point in our growth. We are looking to grow the company across all levels.

Pivotal to our success in this, we will be assembling the next generation of leaders, responsible for growing, elevating our market position further and nurturing junior talent through the business. At Alpha, we pride ourselves on fostering a meritocratic environment perfect for building a career and meeting great people, as well as a rewarding place to work.
