• Developing practical, value-adding recommendations that help clients strengthen their governance and control environments.


• Assessing and enhancing enterprise risk management frameworks, governance structures and internal controls.


• Supporting clients with the design and implementation of risk, compliance and assurance frameworks.


• Building strong client relationships and acting as a trusted advisor on risk and governance matters.


• Mentoring and supporting junior team members, contributing to our collaborative and high-performing culture.


• Assisting with business development activities, including proposals, presentations and identifying opportunities to add value for clients.

About You

You’ll bring:

• At least 2 years' experience in internal audit, risk consulting, governance, controls or a related field, ideally within professional services.


• Experience delivering client-facing projects and managing multiple priorities and engagements.


• Strong skills in risk assessment, audit planning and control evaluation.

• The ability to communicate findings and develop practical recommendations that drive meaningful outcomes.
