Risk & Compliance Director (Consulting, Technology & Forensics)

The Risk & Compliance Director will be accountable for the delivery of an effective and efficient Risk & Compliance infrastructure and function across the Consulting, Technology and Forensics business units within the Davies Global Solutions Division. 
The sub-divisional remit of the role means that the successful candidate will need to understand the Group’s core business objectives together with all local objectives, to implement all appropriate policies & procedures to support the compliant delivery of those objectives versus all relevant and material regulatory and statutory obligations, and in line with the Group’s risk appetite.

The Risk & Compliance Director will understand the regulatory and compliance obligations impacting the aligned business units. Where those business units are directly regulated, the role holder will ensure that all regulatory permissions are secured and that all appropriate steps taken across the relevant business units to ensure ongoing compliance with such direct regulatory obligations in a commercial and economic manner.

Where the aligned business units are not directly regulated but required to align to regulatory frameworks, the Risk & Compliance Director will work with the Divisional CEO and business unit leads to ensure that appropriate and pragmatic steps are identified that enable such alignment in an equally commercial and economic manner. 

The successful candidate will inherit and continue to build, promote and endorse a culture in which accountability for appropriate risk & compliance issues fall upon all colleagues within the Division. 

By nature of the territorial footprint of the Global Solutions business, the Risk & Compliance Director is required required to provide support across multiple time-zones, and where appropriate, engage in both domestic and international travel.
