Connect to your Industry

Do you want to be at the forefront of AI & Data transformation within Security & Justice, supporting organisations that operate in some of the most complex and sensitive environments?

Technology & Transformation: across the Security & Justice sector, organisations must balance innovation with strict requirements around security, resilience, ethics and public accountability. Data is at the core of this challenge, and AI has the potential to enhance operational efficiency, improve decision-making and enable new capabilities - but only when engineered responsibly and deployed at scale. That is exactly what you will help our clients to achieve.

You will work on designing and delivering AI solutions that are robust, secure and fit for purpose in high-assurance environments, helping clients move from pilots and proofs of concept to production-ready systems that deliver real operational impact.

Personal independence

Regulation and controls are standard practice in our industry and Deloitte is no exception. These controls provide important legal protection for both you and the firm. We are subject to a number of audit regulations, one of which requires that certain colleagues abide by specific personal independence constraints (e.g., in relation to any financial interests and employment relationships). 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). The recruitment team will provide further details as you progress through the recruitment process, or you can contact the Independence team upon request.
