6. Develop quickly in a team that invests heavily in training and progression
7. Expand their profile, stakeholder exposure, and consultancy skillset
What You’ll Be Working On
Expect diverse, meaningful engagements across areas such as:
8. Risk & Controls – ICFR/SOx, financial reporting controls, operational risk, governance reviews
9. Internal Audit & Assurance – planning, testing, reporting, and control enhancement
10. Regulatory Advisory – Consumer Duty, conduct, prudential, regulatory change projects
11. ESG & Sustainability – climate risk, sustainability reporting, ESG assurance
12. Risk & Operational Transformation – process improvements, new frameworks, control uplift
You’ll support workstream delivery, help manage client relationships, and contribute to solutions that deliver real impact.
