About the Role
The Corporate Intelligence (CI) team, part of the Cyber & Forensics business unit, delivers investigative research to help clients assess risks linked to third parties, acquisitions, partnerships, and other business relationships. Using public records and discreet source enquiries, the team provides insight to support strategic decision-making. The role suits individuals with strong research skills, an investigative and sceptical mindset, and excellent communication abilities. It is primarily research-focused, though it also includes administrative responsibilities. Some travel may be required for client-site work. Overall, it offers graduates and professionals the chance to contribute to complex, high-impact projects for a global client base. A degree, postgraduate qualification or relevant demonstrable experience is required.
We currently have two open positions to join the team:
- A linguist who can conduct research in Chinese
- A dual linguist who can conduct research in at least two of the following languages (Portuguese, Polish, Arabic, Italian, German, French or Spanish)
