Job description

Hybrid (London + light UK travel)

I’m working with a fast-growing consulting team within a leading global advisory firm looking to appoint an Enterprise Risk specialist into their expanding Risk & Governance practice.

This is an opportunity to join a team that has been built from the ground up over the last two years and is now seeing significant demand from a diverse corporate client base.

The opportunity:

You’ll play a key role in delivering enterprise risk management (ERM) advisory to clients across a range of sectors, including infrastructure, telecoms, media and consumer.

The team takes a genuinely strategic approach to risk – starting with top-down strategic risks before moving into operational frameworks – and works closely with boards and senior stakeholders.

You’ll be involved in:

• Designing and implementing ERM frameworks
• Enhancing governance structures and processes
• Delivering high-quality client engagements end-to‑end
• Supporting business development, including proposals and pitch materials
• Building trusted relationships with senior stakeholders

Why this role:

• High-growth team with strong internal backing and clear investment priorities
• Opportunity to shape the direction of a scaling practice
• Entrepreneurial environment – autonomy, flexibility and real ownership
• Exposure to diverse, mid‑market corporate clients (non‑financial services)
• Part of a global network, with access to broader expertise and opportunities

About you:

• 7+ years’ experience in enterprise risk (consulting, in‑house, or a mix)
• Strong expertise in ERM as a core discipline
• Good understanding of the UK Corporate Governance Code (incl. Provision 29)
• Experience contributing to or leading proposals / bids
• Experience building risk frameworks from scratch
• Ideally, exposure to internal audit and/or corporate compliance

The setup

• London-based, hybrid working (2–3 days in office/client site)
• Light UK travel (typically 1–2 nights max, occasional regional trips)

Please note: sponsorship is not available for this role.
