ALAIKA AdvisoryMunich, Bavaria, Germany · Posted 6 months agoDescription
Advise. 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 6-7 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.

The role 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.
