Descripción del empleo

G3 continues to grow, and we are seeking highly capable people to join us as Associate Directors in our London office. We are looking for candidates with at least eight years' experience in law, finance, consulting, corporate strategy, government, or comparable environments.

G3

G3 is a market-leading intelligence and investigations firm headquartered in the UK. We are one of the world’s largest human source-driven intelligence companies, operating across major global financial and legal hubs.

We have operated for over two decades, with diverse and talented commercial and operational teams across six international offices. We are supported by a deep bench of senior advisers, including former leaders of the US, UK and Australian intelligence services, former chairs of global banks and former managing partners of leading law firms.

Our intelligence supports senior decision-makers at the world’s leading companies, financial institutions and law firms. Our clients come to us for the independence and discretion of our work.

We provide intelligence to inform strategy relating to major corporate transactions, complex regulatory and policy matters, senior appointments and other critical commercial decisions.

We also advise clients in contentious situations, including fraud and misconduct investigations, legal disputes and asset recovery. Our dedicated cyber team provides specialist advice and support to help clients understand and manage an evolving threat environment.

The Role

An Associate Director owns G3's most demanding engagements. In any given month, an Associate Director may help a deal team weigh the commercial risks in a major transaction or advise on how shifting political dynamics should shape a client's positioning.

Much of this work is informed by G3's network – a global community of contacts cultivated over many years, whose perspective and access make our advice possible. Associate Directors learn to draw on the network and, over time, contribute to it.

The heart of the role is judgement. We are brought into complex, ambiguous situations to provide clients with insight to support their decision-making. Associate Directors are expected to move between sectors, jurisdictions, and subject areas they may have had no prior exposure to. What matters is not what they already know, but the speed at which they can get to grips with a problem and the judgment they bring to bear once they do.

How we frame and deliver our work is central to what we do, and much of our advice is delivered in writing and on calls with senior clients. We expect Associate Directors to be articulate, precise, and confident advisers who can hold their own with decision-makers.

What we are looking for

We are looking for candidates with at least eight years’ experience in law, finance, consulting, corporate strategy, government, or comparable environments.

We do not hire for a single profile, and our work benefits from a range of perspectives. Typically, excellent candidates:

• Are already exceptional project managers and are able to run demanding engagements end-to-end with limited oversight.
• Are investigative by instinct: curious, persistent, and entrepreneurial in finding what they need.
• Have high emotional intelligence and sound commercial judgement, quick to grasp what a client is really worried about and trusted to counsel them on it.
• Are strong generalists, with an excellent academic background and a demonstrable interest in writing, reasoning, and learning.

We also look for people who want to be part of building something. G3 is a growing firm, and the people who thrive here not only deliver excellent client work but also help shape the firm itself.

What comes next

Associate Directors are central to G3. They lead client projects, deepen their advisory and client-management skills, and, over time, build the broader experience needed to become a Director. This includes:

• Client management: leading client engagements and being accountable for their quality;
• People management: taking responsibility for small teams and the development of the colleagues within them;
• Firm-wide understanding: learning how every part of G3 works and supporting the operational success of the company.

The people who progress furthest are those who set the standard for those around them, are committed to bringing colleagues along, and care about the firm's growth as much as their own success.

The route from Associate Director is to Director, which carries full responsibility for a team alongside greater strategic responsibility and the long-term stewardship of G3's practices and client relationships. Some have moved into senior operational and business development roles at the firm.

What we offer

• Salary: competitive, based on experience
• Bonus and equity: competitive
• Flexible working balance between home and office
• Stakeholder pension contribution of 5%
• Private medical insurance including generous terms of cover for both medical hospital, dental and mental health support for you, your partner and children (subject to T&Cs of the policy).
• Life insurance – 4 x annual salary
• 25 days' holiday per year in addition to bank holidays
• Cycle to work scheme

We are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace and encourage applications from all qualified individuals, regardless of race, gender, disability or any other characteristic.
