Become part of an independent platform built for financial services professionals

If you’re an experienced consultant or FS practitioner — perhaps ex-MBB, boutique, or Big 4, or with deep execution experience in banking, insurance, payments, fintech, or investment — you’re in the right place. Outsized connects exceptional independents with strategic and transformation projects at leading institutions, consultancies, and investor-backed firms. Every project is vetted and matched to your expertise — so you can focus on delivering impact, not chasing opportunities.

Easy application

Register in minutes using your LinkedIn profile, and tailor it to showcase your standout skills and experiences. The time you invest in doing this could be the key to your future success as an independent professional.

Onboarding

Once approved you will be part of a carefully designed onboarding journey. You will learn how to get the most out of Outsized, whether on a project with us or not. Highlights include our active Community, Perks and exclusive upskilling opportunities.

Get matched

As an Outsized member you will automatically be matched to relevant opportunities. It goes without saying that we always check your interest and availability before sharing your profile with any clients. You can also apply yourself to jobs listed on our site.

Your benefits as an Outsized member

As a member you will get access to a range of benefits curated especially for skilled independent talent. Most importantly, you will be proactively matched to relevant opportunities with our consulting firm and enterprise clients. What’s more, we’re actively supporting your independent career in a number of other ways, whether you are on an assignment through us or not.

Financial services projects and contract roles you won't find anywhere else

Outsized is a platform for highly skilled independent professionals, and the projects and roles we have from our clients reflect that. For short-term freelancing gigs, where clients auction out projects and select talent based purely on price, you are better served elsewhere. However, for longer term, well-paid, and often full-time projects and roles you're at the right place!

It’s your always-on support network – because here, you’re independent, but never alone.

Go to Community

Digital events and local meet-ups

Outsized organizes a large number of digital events, such as client fireside chats, Q&As with subject-matter experts, peer learnings, and much more. In addition we are hosting in-person meet-ups in our key locations. These are sometimes purely socials, and at other times there will be a guest speaker with a Q&A.

Upcoming events

Perks – products and services curated for freelancers

We have partnered with providers of products and services that we think will either help you in your independent career, or make your life easier. You will find hand-picked offerings related to upskilling, financial protection for independents, admin, and even volunteering opportunities for when you are in-between projects and want to do something meaningful.
