About Alpha
Alpha Financial Markets Consulting (Alpha FMC) is the leading global consultancy to the Asset & Wealth Management and insurance industries. 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 with a presence across across North America, UK, Europe, MENA and APAC
Following a hugely successful AIM listing where Alpha listed with a market cap of £160m in 2017, the company enjoyed further substantial growth before selling to one of the world's leading quoted private asset growth investors (Bridgepoint) for £626m in August 2024. As such, 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 the junior talent through the business.
At Alpha, diversity, equity and inclusion is critical to our success, and we are committed to employing individuals from all backgrounds to reflect the multi-faceted society we live in. We have worked hard to foster an environment that welcomes everyone and celebrates each other’s successes. We aspire for Alpha to not only feel like ‘a job’ – but a close-knit community and the place where you want to build a career.
