Financial Crime Consultant
Consultant - Financial Crime
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 Role
As 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.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
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 You
You’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. Oh, and excellent written and spoken communication is a given as a consultant. Clear, articulate, and engaging.
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
