Job description

As one of the world's largest networks of audit, tax and consulting firms, RSM delivers big ideas and premium service to help middle-market businesses thrive. We are a fast-growing firm with big ambitions -- we have a clear goal to become the premium adviser to the middle market, globally. This vision touches everything we do, motivating and inspiring us to become better every day. If you are looking for a firm where you can build a future and make an impact, then RSM is the place for you.

Make an Impact at RSM UK

Consulting brings together multiple teams across Transactions, Risk & Consulting, ABA, and Outsourcing to provide client-centric solutions for RSM’s current and future clients within the middle market. Our Consulting team has a major role to play in driving forward the growth of the firm with over 1,700 people delivering almost £200m revenue.

At the heart of Consulting are the six solutions we offer our clients: business transformation, deal services, finance function support, risk and governance, forensic and investigation services, and restructuring. Our solutions create an enhanced tailored approach to support our clients in achieving their strategic goals and empower our people to make an impact and develop their own unique career path.

We have an opportunity to join TRA as either a Senior or Principal Consultant (depending on experience).

The role will involve working as part of a team on the delivery of quality, on budget and timely financial services technology risk assurance and advisory work. You will work with and support the TRA portfolio leads who are responsible for managing the delivery of the engagements. You will also manage a small portfolio of clients in financial services yourself to support your career development.

You’ll benefit from ongoing coaching, career mentoring, and be supported by the TRA career pathway that was launched in 2021. This provides you with an opportunity to continue to develop market leading skills across our different capabilities and advance your professional development by undertaking relevant qualifications to follow on from the CISA qualification you already have.

You’ll make an impact by:

• Delivery of quality TRA audits to budget and within agreed timescales
• Understanding and application of RSM methodology and premium quality requirements in delivering audit work
• Developing relationships with financial services clients and identifying further opportunities for business development
• Monitoring and reporting on KPIs for your portfolio/client commitments based on defined delivery protocol and other MI, so that we can meet budget and quality requirements and to identify continuous improvement opportunities.
• Supporting the overall team in continued product and services development (for example Payments, FCA/PRA regulations, SWIFT, Data Protection, Operational Resilience, Project Assurance and wider regulatory services)

What we are looking for:

Are you someone who thrives on variety, loves learning new things, and enjoys connecting with people? If you can spot inefficiencies in everyday life and are passionate about making improvements, this role is perfect for you!

We value diverse experiences and perspectives. Here’s what we’re looking for in our ideal candidate:

• Hold at least one or more of the following certifications: CISA, CISM, CIPM, CISSP, CCSP, CHECK, CREST, AWS
• Significant IT audit experience within the financial services sector and UK regulatory environment
• Proven ability to produce quality documentation and reporting
• Experience of managing multiple clients/assignments
• Ability to travel to clients, whether by car or by public transport

What we can offer you:

We recognise that our people are our most important assets. That’s why we offer a flexible reward and benefits package that will help you have fulfilling experience, both in and out of work.

• Hybrid working
• 26 Days Holiday
• Lifestyle, Health, and Wellbeing including financial wellbeing benefits such as financial tools, electric car scheme and access to a virtual GP.
• Access to a suite of 300+ courses on demand developed by our inhouse Talent Development team.

Diversity and Inclusion at RSM
At RSM, we want to create a strong sense of belonging so that people of all identities, backgrounds, and cultures feel they can bring their true self to work. Our clients come from all walks of life. We aim to achieve that same diversity of background, experience and perspective in our own teams, so that we can genuinely understand our client's needs. Diverse teams bring a broader range of ideas and insights to work. That's why we're working together to ensure our firm's principles and processes support a firm culture that embraces difference and strengthens inclusion.
