Quantium's Financial Services Consulting practice partners with Australia's banks, insurers, super funds and wealth managers to turn data into decisions. We work as an embedded analytics partner with an AI-first delivery model, helping clients move from intuition to evidence. Our core is insurance, with active expansion into banking, superannuation and wealth. As an Analyst, you will contribute to client engagements end to end: framing the question, doing the analysis, and helping land the insight. You will work alongside senior analysts who coach you, and you will use AI as a daily multiplier on your own work from the start. We hire for trajectory as much as current capability. The people who do well here are clear thinkers who learn domains fast, are comfortable in front of clients early, and use AI with judgement rather than taking it at face value. This is a consulting analytics role, not an in-house analytics role. The work is project-based, client-facing and time-pressured. Judgement and framing matter more here than how much code you write.
