It’s a rapidly growing area supported by an increased focus on risk across the industry.

This will require working extensively with our colleagues from across the world in various disciplines (e.g. IT, Data, Finance, Corporate Finance, etc.) which will expose the candidate to a wide range of insights and experiences which will benefit their development and careers significantly. Both roles require leadership across clients, people and solutions, with a platform to help shape and develop the future.
