The firm has an existing team of 270 permanent consultants in Scotland servicing financial services clients principally based in the Central Belt. The new roles will span data and analytics, digital banking, technology and engineering-related positions.

Roland Inglis, partner and head of Capco Scotland, said: “We are fully committed to being the financial services consultancy of choice in Scotland, having grown steadily in the past six years from just 15 people to almost 300 employees supporting Scottish-based clients today.

“Through 2022 we will be recruiting actively with a particular focus on change professionals who have the know-how and experience to solve complex challenges within financial services and who are now looking to take the step into consultancy and develop their career in an entrepreneurial and highly collaborative environment.”

He added: “Through the pandemic we have continued to see very strong demand for our services, notably in areas such as technology and engineering, data, digital and new ways of working, and we can offer very real opportunities for talented change managers and analytical professionals who are looking to be at the leading edge of end-to-end transformation and innovation within Scottish financial services.”

Sandy Begbie CBE, CEO of Scottish Financial Enterprise (SFE), said: “Capco has been a real success story in Scotland and today’s announcement is yet another clear statement of their commitment to our sector. With the growing demand for digital transformation, automation and data services across our sector it is vital we have high quality consultancy to support financial services firms.

“Over the last six-plus years Capco has been growing its operation here in Scotland and these 100 new roles reflect the important role it plays within our sector. This is also a further vote of confidence in our sector here in Scotland, which continues to grow and is increasing the number of high quality jobs.

“I would also like to thank Capco for the broader support they provide the sector and communities in Scotland.”
