Connecting top independent professionals with financial services opportunities
Join a specialist platform built for people like you — independent consultants, subject-matter experts, interims, and fractionals whose skills are in demand from banks, insurers, fintechs, consulting firms, as well as investors focused on financial services.
Work with some of the biggest brands in the world
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.
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 built for highly skilled independent professionals, and the work reflects that. If you want short-term gigs auctioned to the lowest bidder, you'll be better served elsewhere. What we offer is substantial financial services work: typically longer-term, well-paid, often full-time contract and project roles across strategy, transformation, risk, data, and product, where deep banking, insurance, and fintech expertise is the whole point, not a cost to be squeezed.
Independent, but never alone
Going independent shouldn't mean fending for yourself. Outsized learns your skills, sector focus, and ambitions, then brings you financial services roles that fit, rather than flooding you with everything that lands. We stay close while you're on assignment and keep working in the background to maximise the chances of having your next opportunity on the platform when you finish your contract. You run your own business. We make sure you never do it solo.
Work directly with leading financial institutions & consulting firms
Through Outsized you work with major banks, insurers, payments firms, fintechs, and the consultancies that serve them. These are organisations that rarely take independents on directly, and their procurement, security, and compliance gates are hard to clear on your own. We've spent years building the relationships and meeting the standards that get talent through the door, so when a client needs specialist help, we put you in front of the people who decide.
Private by default. You're always in control
Outsized isn't a job board or an open talent marketplace. Clients can't browse your profile unless you've agreed to it, so you stay invisible until you choose otherwise. You decide which roles to apply for, and we share your details only once you've said yes to a specific opportunity. No talent pools, no unsolicited introductions, no surprises. Your reputation and your time stay firmly in your hands.
