We are Australia's foremost legal-led consultancy that offers a truly differentiated client and employee experience in the market.
We combine the legal expertise and backing of a leading global law firm with highly experienced, specialist risk consultants to provide unique, integrated, and holistic solutions to our clients so they can navigate the complexities of conducting business globally.
After successfully establishing the division in Australia in 2020, our now 100 strong team have developed a market-leading reputation and in October 2022 expanded into the United Kingdom.
As a result of growth, we are looking to hire a Specialist (comparable to Consultant / Senior Consultant / Manager level in Big 4 consulting firms) to join our Regulatory Risk team in either Sydney or Melbourne.
As a Specialist, you will be an integral member of a team delivering regulatory, risk, and compliance advice and solutions to clients across a variety of industries, including financial services, telecommunications, energy, retail, corporate, and government.
Your work will include advising clients on the development and implementation of risk frameworks, the assessment of risk programs, the design of controls and implementation of controls testing and uplift, as well as the design and implementation of regulatory engagement strategies and regulatory change and compliance programs.
You will also support Partners, Directors, and Executives to identify and execute business development activities to build the Ashurst Risk Advisory brand, including owning the creation of proposals and actively seeking and taking input from the team.
About You:
You have 3 - 5 years of specialised risk, compliance, and/or regulatory experience, ideally within a consulting environment, and are comfortable with the common tools, frameworks, and standards in this space.
You're a self-starter who is keen to work in a fast-paced environment that is always evolving and requires you to be proactive, confident, and humble, embracing alternate viewpoints.
You have proven experience delivering high-quality work for clients and stakeholders in line with expectations and deadlines, with an innovative mindset and approach, including non-financial risk management and compliance assessments, strategies, and controls.
You're confident in autonomously finding solutions to a range of problems, especially those related to risk management, in a commercial and client-focused way.
You have exceptional written and verbal communication skills with a focus on attention to detail.
You will have experience writing a range of business documents, including reports, letters, and proposals.
You have experience providing the highest quality service to clients and fostering professional and commercial relationships with a range of stakeholders.
You're passionate about collaborating with a multi-disciplinary team across Ashurst to solve client problems.
You actively seek and welcome feedback to support the development of your expertise and capabilities.
You're enthusiastic to continue learning and developing your skills and knowledge every day.
You're excited to work in a team that allows you to take on more responsibility, manage multiple priorities, and proactively get involved in a range of work, including client interaction and business development.
What makes Ashurst a great place to work?

Our vision is to create a unique culture in the consulting market based around a flat, collaborative structure that offers everyone the opportunity to work closely with Directors, Partners, and clients on engagements.
This means you have on-the-job training with your leaders, direct involvement with business development, clear recognition for your performance, and greater career opportunities.
