As you grow, you’ll also begin to take ownership of client relationships, contribute to account strategy, and support the delivery of high-impact work. Developing a sense of account leadership, including understanding client needs, ensuring delivery excellence, and building trusted partnerships, is part of what sets successful consultants apart.

Success in this role comes from a growth mindset, strong communication skills, advanced critical thinking, and the ability to navigate new challenges with confidence.

Responsibilities:

  • Support finance and compliance projects, including financial analysis, reconciliations, compliance testing, and internal audit support.

  • Support model and credit risk engagements by helping assess model governance, model inputs, data, documentation, testing results, and risk management practices.

  • Support regulatory compliance and financial crime engagements focused on areas such as BSA/AML, sanctions, fraud, consumer protection, fair lending, and broader compliance program effectiveness.

  • Use data, analytics, and visualization tools to identify trends, anomalies, exceptions, and emerging risks.

  • Participate in client meetings, walkthroughs, interviews, status updates, and presentations.

  • Prepare high-quality reports, presentations, and deliverables that communicate observations, risks, recommendations, and practical next steps.

  • Collaborate with teammates across Risk Consulting to deliver high-quality client service in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment.

Expectations:

  • Strong problem-solving, analytical, and critical thinking skills to develop effective, technology-enabled solutions to address client challenges, including thoughtfully evaluating outputs from new tools and technologies.

  • Curiosity and adaptability by learning new tools and technologies, including AI-enabled capabilities, and applying them to help solve problems.

  • Interest in business, risk management, internal controls, compliance, finance, accounting, data analytics, regulatory requirements, and financial services.

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to prepare clear, client-ready deliverables.

  • Ability to take initiative to work both independently and collaboratively in team-based environments.

  • Intellectual curiosity and a desire to continuously learn new industries, regulations, tools, frameworks, systems, and consulting approaches.

  • Strong attention to detail and commitment to producing accurate, high-quality work.

  • Ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines in a fast-paced client service environment.

  • Professional confidence when interacting with clients, colleagues, senior leaders, and other stakeholders.

  • Self-motivation, ownership, adaptability, and a willingness to grow through feedback and continuous learning.
