A boutique financial crime consultancy is looking for a Consultant to join its growing team. The firm supports a diverse mix of regulated clients across financial services, delivering work across advisory, business-wide risk assessments, financial crime governance reviews and policy development.
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys a fast-paced consulting environment, likes solving complex problems, and wants real ownership of their work. You’ll be working alongside a group of highly experienced, technically strong financial crime professionals.
The business is performing very well and continues to win a strong pipeline of work, so there’s consistent exposure to live projects — no sitting on the bench.
The RoleAs a Consultant, you’ll support and lead key workstreams across a range of financial crime engagements, typically working alongside a Senior Consultant. You’ll have a good level of autonomy while contributing to high-quality deliverables and client outcomes.
You will:
*Lead sections of Business-Wide Risk Assessments, governance reviews and wider financial crime risk work
*Conduct risk reviews, regulatory gap analysis and policy reviews (AML, sanctions, KYC, transaction monitoring)
*Interpret legislation and regulatory guidance, applying it to real client scenarios
*Participate in client interviews and stakeholder sessions
*Draft clear, well-structured deliverables for Senior Consultants and Principals
*Work across multiple engagements simultaneously, managing deadlines and expectations
*Contribute to broader work including benchmarking, failure-to-prevent fraud reviews, payments projects and MLRO support
About YouYou’ll bring strong financial crime knowledge, solid analytical skills and the ability to work with a good degree of independence. Prior consulting experience (current or previous) is required.
Key requirements:
*Experience across financial crime (AML, CDD/KYC, sanctions, transaction monitoring, risk assessments)
*Strong written communication skills — able to produce clear, structured and technically sound outputs
*Good academic background with strong analytical capability
*Highly organised and able to manage multiple projects at once
*Proactive, driven and detail-focused
*Comfortable working autonomously and delivering under pressure
Additional InformationThe role offers genuine flexibility, with two days per week in the office (City of London) and the option to work a four-day week.
You’ll be working closely with experienced financial crime specialists, giving you the opportunity to develop quickly, strengthen your technical skillset and gain exposure to a wide range of clients and regulatory challenges.
This is a strong environment for someone looking to grow and take on more responsibility.
