1 week ago

London Area, United Kingdom MERJE Full time £60,000 - £80,000 per year

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, providing a wide range of services – from advisory and business-wide risk assessments to financial crime governance reviews and policy development. This is a great role for someone who thrives in a fast-paced consulting environment, enjoys solving complex problems, and wants genuine ownership of their work. You'll be working with a group of highly experienced and technically strong financial crime practitioners.

The Role

As a Consultant, you will support and lead key workstreams across a variety of financial crime engagements, typically working alongside a Senior Consultant. You'll work with autonomy while contributing to high-quality deliverables and client outcomes.

You will:

  • Lead sections of Business-Wide Risk Assessments, governance reviews and financial crime risk work.
  • Conduct risk reviews, regulatory gap analysis and policy reviews (AML, sanctions, KYC, TM).
  • Interpret legislation and regulatory guidance, applying it critically to client scenarios.
  • Participate in client interviews and stakeholder sessions.
  • Draft clear, well-structured deliverables for Senior Consultants and Principals to present to clients.
  • Work across multiple engagements simultaneously, managing deadlines and expectations.
  • Contribute to benchmarking work, failure-to-prevent fraud reviews, payments projects and MLRO support engagements.

About You

  • You will bring strong financial crime knowledge, excellent analytical skills, and the ability to operate with a high degree of independence.

Essential:

  • Experience in financial crime (AML, CDD/KYC, sanctions, transaction monitoring, risk assessments).
  • Strong written communication – able to produce clear, structured and technically sound deliverables.
  • Good academic background, demonstrating strong analytical capability.
  • Highly organised, capable of managing multiple projects at once.
  • A proactive, driven mindset with high standards for quality.
  • Ability to work autonomously and remain reliable under pressure.
  • Ideally, experience in consulting or a role involving multi-project workloads.

Nice to have:

  • Experience conducting Business-Wide Financial Crime Risk Assessments.

This role offers genuine flexibility, with only two days a week in the office and a City of London location that's easy to get to and even the option to do the role part-time (4 days a week), So, if a reduced week is something you've ever considered, this could be a great one to explore.

You'll work closely with highly experienced financial crime specialists, giving you the chance to learn quickly, sharpen your technical capability, and gain exposure to a wide range of clients, projects and regulatory challenges.

It's an exceptional environment for someone who wants to grow and take on additional responsibility.
