Researcher, Third-Party Due Diligence

The aim of compliance-driven due diligence is to assess our clients' actual or potential counterparties, looking for any issues that might pose a reputational or other risk to them.

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. You will be required to make sense of complex information and have a clear and crisp writing style.

  • 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
