Job description

Senior Consultant Position

This role may be based in Washington DC, Chicago, or New York City. A Senior Consultant project manages US and Canada public record and open-source research, online monitoring and human intelligence projects for pre-deal due diligence, litigation support matters, asset traces, complex frauds, internal investigations and anti-bribery / anti-corruption and other compliance-driven inquiries.

The successful candidate will be a critical thinker with solid writing, communication and team management skills. This position requires a demonstrated ability to conduct and project manage sophisticated investigative projects in a rapid-paced environment within time and budget constraints, oversee teams of researchers and subcontractors, write and edit client reports in an investigative reporting style, foster relationships with counterparts globally and across business lines in a complex organization, and lead in the professional development of junior members of the team. When required, the Senior Consultant will be expected to conduct investigative research themselves, especially for complex cases that require the mentorship of junior team members. As such, the Senior Consultant plays a significant role in setting and modeling best research practices for the team. Additionally, the Senior Consultant will join the project management group in taking client scoping calls, conducting scoping research and preparing proposals.

The Senior Consultant will be interested in learning more about the investigations industry and will have client-facing duties, such as participating in client status updates, attending client meetings or conferences as appropriate, getting involved in business development activities and / or writing thought leadership pieces once or twice a year. The Senior Consultant will have line management responsibilities for the research team in conjunction with the Consultant and lead the benchmark for research excellence and be a resource for junior team members. There are opportunities to develop specialties and to take ownership of areas of the practice.

While this team covers US and Canada research, it works closely with teams across the world, and this role requires global-mindedness. All team roles have growth potential and are part of a larger career trajectory. The successful candidate will be expected to be based in one of our US offices, namely New York, Chicago, or Washington D.C. and be in the office three times a week.
