As part of a dedicated team (VANTAGE), the compliance due diligence researcher role involves media research, working with databases, primary documents and other sources to uncover reputational and criminal issues and ultimate beneficial ownership, as well as making sense of complex corporate structures and identifying possible political and sanctions exposure.

Your main task will be to review, coordinate and report the findings of OSINT and HUMINT research concisely within short timeframes. A meticulous eye for detail is a must in this challenging, fast-paced role. The right candidate will be a team player who can maintain a positive attitude under pressure.

  • Analyse search results within the context of the project and the country,
  • Distil conclusions and identify indirect connections from research findings
  • Rate findings based on standard or tailored risk assessment methodologies
  • Summarise all relevant findings in a report
  • When required, brief and present findings to internal colleagues
  • Collaborate with team members across the firm to deliver joint projects

Business and practice development

  • Maintain and enhance our knowledge management base, by working with other VANTAGE members providing insight on potential service/product improvement
  • Support in reviewing reports
  • Support in training researchers

Essential

  • Knowledge of research techniques, databases, networks, online registers and archives, and research in the general internet
  • Knowledge of the business, political, and social context of a geographical area
  • Native or equivalent fluency in English
  • Excellence in research and writing in English and clear communication style
  • Communicate complex topics verbally and in writing effectively
  • Ability to summarise large amounts of information in a clear and concise manner
  • Ability to manage and prioritise multiple tasks to tight deadlines
  • Curiosity, attention to detail and problem-solving skills
  • Ability to work independently and in a team
  • Education to degree level

 

Preferred

  • Fluency in an additional language

  • Control Risks offers a competitively positioned compensation and benefits package that is transparent and summarised in the full job offer.
  • We operate a discretionary global bonus scheme that incentivises, and rewards individuals based on company and individual performance.
