Connect to your Industry

In a world that is constantly changing, organisations need to adapt quickly, this is your opportunity to join Deloitte's market-proven Non-financial Risk team and help our clients to better manage their risks on a day-to-day basis across the enterprise.

You will develop an impressive range of commercial skills that will multiply your career options. Benefiting from early client exposure and collaborating with some of the top practitioners in the field, you will be involved in some of the largest, most complex and innovative advisory engagements in the UK and internationally.

Our Non-financial Risk and broader Regulatory and Financial Risk team offers unrivalled depth of experience in providing solutions based on our client needs. We design, implement and provide assurance over enterprise risk management approaches including risk strategies, operating models and risk management and appetite frameworks and associated processes and models. In addition, we help clients develop an effective risk culture to underpin their risk management activities.

Our Financial Services clients are being driven by regulatory pressures, the need to do ‘more with less' and increasingly a desire for a higher performing and more integrated approach to risk management across the enterprise.

They look to our professionals to help them achieve that aim, efficiently and with an unrelenting focus on their needs. Our Future of Risk proposition is our entry point for client dialogue on these issues.

This can mean that you and your "Immediate Family Members" are not permitted to hold certain financial interests (shares, funds, bonds etc.) with audit clients of the firm, and also prohibitions on certain employment relationships (e.g., you are not permitted to hold a secondary employment role with SEC audit clients of the firm whilst being employed by the firm).
