ChilliMint is a specialist strategy and marketing consultancy focused on retail financial services and payments. We help banks, payment providers, and fintechs solve complex commercial challenges - combining sharp thinking with high-impact creative execution. Our work sits at the intersection of strategy, product, and marketing. We don’t just analyse problems -we turn insights into compelling narratives that shape decisions, influence stakeholders, and drive growth.
About the role
We’re looking for a Consulting Analyst who can think clearly, write exceptionally well, and bring ideas to life.
This is not a traditional “data analyst” role. You won’t be building dashboards or writing code. Instead, you’ll be working on client-facing projects where success depends on your ability to:
- Understand complex topics quickly
- Form a clear point of view
- Communicate it in a way that lands
One day, you might be analysing how digital wallets are evolving across Europe. The next, you could be crafting messaging for a new payments proposition or building a client presentation that influences senior stakeholders. If you enjoy turning insight into something people actually understand and act on, you’ll thrive here.
Key responsibilities
You’ll work across multiple client projects, supporting strategy development and bringing ideas to life through high-quality outputs:
- Researching and distilling industry trends across payments and financial services - cutting through noise to identify what actually matters
- Analysing client challenges and market positioning to uncover clear, commercially relevant opportunities
- Turning insights into sharp narratives - not just what’s happening, but what it means and what to do next
- Creating high-quality content including presentations, reports, messaging frameworks, and sales materials
- Supporting client projects end-to-end, balancing multiple workstreams and delivering to a high standard
- Collaborating with consultants and creatives to ensure ideas are both strategically sound and engaging
Essential skills and qualities
We’re not looking for someone who ticks every box - we’re looking for someone with the right fundamentals and mindset.
Core capabilities:
- Exceptional written communication - clear, concise, and structured thinking on paper
- Strong analytical instinct - able to break down problems and form logical, evidence-based views
- Ability to connect dots - turning research into insight, and insight into action
- Attention to detail - high standards in everything you produce
Mindset:
- Curious, proactive, and willing to take ownership
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-expectation environment
- Interested in how businesses grow, compete, and communicate
Helpful (but not essential):
- Exposure to financial services, fintech, or payments
- Experience in marketing, content creation, or storytelling
- Familiarity with AI tools and how they can support research or content
What makes this role different
Most analyst roles will teach you how to analyse. This role will teach you how to think, communicate, and influence. You’ll work directly with experienced consultants, gain exposure to real client challenges, and see how strategy turns into execution - often within the same project.
