> Financial Crime Consultants | Permanent

Mayford Group is currently working on behalf of a niche consultancy practice in London and we are looking to speak with experienced financial crime consultants looking for a new challenge.

This is an excellent opportunity for candidates with demonstrable experience in the space to develop both their experience and career.

It's a hugely exciting time to join the company as they continue to expand and there is a genuine opportunity to work on cutting-edge and exciting financial crime projects.

The Role

Youll be front and centre of all client interactions running projects, taking responsibility for delivery and managing client relationships. The role is broad and you will have to roll your sleeves up and get stuck in. Consultants will have direct responsibility for delivering high-quality client work, pitch decks and propositions, often supervising the work of others.

Consultants will be technically proficient in financial crime matters. You might be a deep subject matter expert in one particular area or have breadth across the financial crime framework. You will have, or be forming, clear ideas about your niche / specialism in the market place. Even more important than your technical expertise is your attitude. Consultants think for themselves, address potential risks before they become issues and understand that the team is far greater than any individual. Our consultants also have a strong desire to propel the business to the next level.
