[TL014] Filemaker Consultant

ThinkingLinking is looking for an IT consultant specialised in Filemaker to join a small, fast-paced and disciplined strategic consulting team in the City of London. 

We welcome applicants with precise minds and clear communication since we use logic, strategic planning and advanced communication skills when working with our team internally as well as working with clients. 

About ThinkingLinking 

ThinkingLinking is a boutique strategy-focused M&A consulting firm with a ‘Strategy before Finance’ methodology.  Although financial negotiations are inevitable in the process, the emphasis of our work and the basis for introducing companies is synergy and also psychology.  We add these to the traditional finance dimension of M&A, in effect blending two industries:  strategic consulting and M&A.

Unlike other small firms that specialise in one sector, ThinkingLinking works across several, using proprietary methodologies to identify opportunities and guide the dealmaking process.
