If you're building a career in Financial Services risk, controls, finance, or internal audit—and you want more variety, visibility, and progression—this is the ideal next step.

A leading global professional services firm is expanding its Risk Advisory practice in Scotland and is looking for commercially sharp Senior Associates with experience across Asset & Wealth Management or Insurance (or those who've audited these sectors within the Big 4 or large mid-tier firms).

This is a consulting role—client-facing, fast-paced, and full of development. You'll use the technical grounding you already have, but apply it in a more strategic, project-driven setting.

• Work with major insurers, asset managers, and wealth firms
• Develop quickly in a team that invests heavily in training and progression
• Expand their profile, stakeholder exposure, and consultancy skillset

What You'll Be Working On
Expect diverse, meaningful engagements across areas such as:

• Risk & Controls - ICFR/SOx, financial reporting controls, operational risk, governance reviews
• Internal Audit & Assurance - planning, testing, reporting, and control enhancement
• Regulatory Advisory - Consumer Duty, conduct, prudential, regulatory change projects
• ESG & Sustainability - climate risk, sustainability reporting, ESG assurance
• Risk & Operational Transformation - process improvements, new frameworks, control uplift

You'll support workstream delivery, help manage client relationships, and contribute to solutions that deliver real impact.

Essential
What They're Looking For
