Job Title Financial Crime Consultant Location Sydney Description

The Opportunity:

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 businesses 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 (UK).

Our growing Financial Crime team is looking to hire a Specialist (equivalent to Senior Consultant in Big4 Consulting) in Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane.

As a Specialist, you will be an integral member of a team who deliver advice to clients in relation to financial crime risk and compliance, including Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Counter-Terrorism Financing (CTF), Economic and Trade Sanctions (Sanctions), and Anti-Bribery & Corruption (ABC). The team's clients are diverse and span across multiple industries including financial services, government, energy & resources, corporates, and leisure.

During a regular week as a Specialist, you might be expected to:

  • assist clients to address gaps and uplift compliance capabilities;
  • produce financial crime risk and compliance artefacts, including reports;
  • collaborate with experts across Ashurst to research a new field and use those learnings to help define and build a strategic capability or client opportunity for the Financial Crime team;
  • assist in the ongoing management of client relationships and support business development initiatives, including the preparation of go-to-market materials; and
  • provide local and global market insight to support clients' strategic planning with activities such as impact analyses, contingency planning, risk identification and mitigation initiatives.

Please review the job description attached to the role on our careers site as it provides more detail around the team, role, what we can offer you, and what we are looking for.

About You:

  • You're excited about using your talents to help solve a diverse range of client problems with new, unique and inventive solutions, to assist in the growth of a unique and 'first-to-market' practice.
  • Experience providing risk-related advice across one or all of AML/CTF, ABC and Sanctions.
  • 3-5 years' experience in a client facing role within a well-respected consulting firm.
  • You have an intermediate level of professional skills, including strong proficiency in the written form, good presentation skills, strong attention to detail, and the ability to take proactive steps to achieve agreed outcomes.
  • Proven expertise in supporting the review, development and/or design of relevant AML/CTF or other financial crime initiatives, including for example, risk assessments, policy/process/procedures/controls, target operating models, strategy, audits, technology, regulatory response and other relevant projects.
  • Strong desire to learn and develop your skills and understanding of financial crime.
  • You're passionate about collaborating with a multi-disciplinary team.
  • You're not afraid to have your own view and you approach challenging problems with both confidence and humility, while also embracing alternate viewpoints.

What makes Ashurst a great place to work?

We are a team devoted to collaboration, diversity, transparency and innovation. Our vision is to create a unique culture in the consulting market based around teamwork and a structure that offers everyone a voice and the encouragement to help us build the practice. Our ambition is to hire a highly diverse team combining various personalities, cultures and professional backgrounds, and offer them the opportunity to directly deal with clients, take responsibility for business development, drive their careers, and help us in defining our strategy, culture and processes.

We offer award winning Learning & Development and Diversity & Inclusion programs, and a range of benefits including, subsidised gym membership, discounted health insurance, complimentary health and wellbeing support programs, study support, annual bonuses, flexible working, and 26 weeks parental leave, to name a few. We are also committed to delivering positive impacts to our communities through our Social Impact programme, with a strong emphasis on working with First Nations people through our pro bono practice.
