Hey guys, I work at a top BB but doing Operations/middle office stuff and recently found out about strategy/process improvement Within the firm. (Good to note this is not corporate strategy, that team is filled with ex-ib, ex-MBB and Ivy leagues, think mine is more about like operation/process oriented. Job posting referenced operation strategies and models)
Looking to network my ass off (already have some chats lined up)but this is basically a huge career change for me and would need probably a couple months of studying to be prepared to even submit an application.
Not interested in working for MBB, but very interested in strategy roles either within banks or even other firms!
Can anyone recommend me where to start? Not really sure what to study or read (but I would assume I should be studying as if I’m studying for a MBB position?)
Also is this considered strategic consulting? Would my studying revolve around this or maybe still management consulting?
Any insights to websites/books/learning material would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Hi Ian, Yes I believe this is an internal strategy role.. but not really sure how it differs from corporate strategy? From my understanding corporate strategy is driving decisions for the firm to enter into new markets/new products and stuff like that where as this role is more like developing strategies with X data to improve operationally? Not sure where to even begin looking at in terms of studying, but would love to also learn more about corporate strategy too!
