- Provide subject matter expertise on regulatory obligations such as Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) and UK Corporate Reform (Provision 29), translating requirements into practical, value-driven solutions.
- Lead, coach, and support junior consultants and analysts, fostering a collaborative and high-performing team culture.
- Contribute to business development activities, including opportunity scoping, proposal writing, and participation in client pitches across the sales lifecycle.
- Build and maintain strong, long-term client relationships, positioning yourself as a trusted advisor in controls and compliance.
