About the role

 

We deal with issues that are fundamentally important to the security and success of our clients. We look to identify, analyse, and reduce wide ranging risks such as those relating to finance, information security, technology, infrastructure, and people.

This work typically includes providing an objective view on the effectiveness of risk management, operations, systems, and processes. And providing insight to develop them when opportunities for improvement arise. Work is typically delivered at client sites, from our office, or working from home
