Job description

Director – Investigations, Due Diligence & Fraud

Global Investigations Firm | Singapore

A global investigations firm is seeking a senior leader to join its investigations, due diligence, and fraud practice. This role is designed for experienced advisory professionals who bring credibility with senior clients and a track record of leading complex engagements, but who are looking to operate in a more focused, specialist environment.

The appointment sits at Director level, with responsibility spanning case leadership, client engagement, and mentoring of junior staff.

The Role

The Director will lead and oversee matters including:

• Complex pre-transaction and strategic due diligence
• Fraud, misconduct, and integrity investigations
• Disputes and litigation-support assignments
• High-risk market entry and counterparty assessments

Engagements are typically cross-border, time-sensitive, and judgment-driven, requiring discretion, independence of thought, and the ability to operate without heavy institutional scaffolding.

Candidate Profile

This role is well suited to professionals with 15+ years’ experience, currently or recently operating in:

• Big 4 forensic, disputes, investigations, or risk advisory practices
• Large consulting or accounting firms with exposure to sensitive matters
• Senior advisory or research-led roles supporting boards, GCs, or investment committees

Ideal candidates will bring:

• Proven experience leading investigations or diligence engagements end-to-end
• Strong client-facing presence with the ability to advise at GC, Board, or IC level
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including report sign-off
• Sound commercial judgement and an understanding of risk, reputation, and enforcement dynamics

You do not need to have spent your career in a pure investigations firm. Candidates transitioning from broader advisory environments are actively encouraged.

Why This Opportunity

• Senior-level autonomy and visibility on matters that genuinely influence outcomes
• Smaller, highly experienced teams with direct access to decision-makers
• Reduced bureaucracy compared with large advisory platforms
• Opportunity to shape practice direction, mentoring approach, and client relationships

Progression & Scope

The role offers scope to:

• Act as trusted lead on marquee matters
• Build and deepen relationships with key clients and referral sources
• Shape thematic expertise (e.g. fraud, disputes, emerging markets, sector focus)
• Progress toward Partner-level responsibility over time
