  • Stay informed about emerging AI tools and techniques and collaborate with firm leadership to identify compliant opportunities to enhance client solutions and internal processes.
  • Contribute to talent acquisition and retention efforts by attracting, interviewing, and hiring top talent who embody our core values.
  • Lead business development efforts, marketing a full range of services to prospective clients and leveraging existing relationships to generate new opportunities.

What You’ll Bring

  • 14+ years of experience advising public companies on financial, compliance, technology, strategic, operational, and / or enterprise-wide risk.
  • Professional services experience in a client-facing role at an accounting or consulting firm.
  • Expertise in key risk domain standards and frameworks (e.g., the Sarbanes‑Oxley Act (SOX), COSO, PCAOB, the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA’s) code of ethics, as well as technology and cybersecurity frameworks).
  • Depth of subject matter expertise with the ability to share knowledge and enhance a team’s technical capabilities.
  • Proven track record in account leadership, financial management of accounts, and client partnership building.
  • Recognized for delivering the highest quality work to clients and sought after for technical acumen and leadership abilities.
  • Comfort with AI : Demonstrated ability to responsibly explore and adopt firm‑approved AI tools to enhance productivity and innovation.
  • Continuous Learning Mindset : Openness to learning and applying emerging technologies including AI and automation in alignment with firm policies and client standards.
  • Proven ability to develop strategies that foster practice development and firm growth.
  • Experience mentoring and developing junior team members and helping project teams resolve complex and multi-faceted issues.
