Job description

The Role

Consultants will be technically proficient in financial crime matters. You might be a deep subject matter expert in one particular area or have breadth across the financial crime framework. You will have, or be forming, clear ideas about your niche / specialism in the marketplace. Even more important than your technical expertise is your attitude. Consultants think for themselves, address potential risks before they become issues and understand that the team is far greater than any individual. Our consultants also have a strong desire to propel the business to the next level.
