Your work, your choice
At Deloitte we believe the best impact is the value we add, not the hours we sit at our desk. We carefully consider agile ways of working, both formal and informal, that allow for the best impact for our people and our clients. Please speak to your recruiter about the working pattern that works best for you.
Location: Nationwide
Work pattern: This is a permanent full-time contract opportunity.
Your professional experience
The ideal candidate will have worked for a Corporate Finance Boutique or another Big 4/Top 10 Firm either as a practitioner or within a similar risk team, or you may have a more general risk background with knowledge of Corporate Finance. We are interested in candidates with all of these backgrounds but are looking for mandatory skills and experience in the following:
Successful applicants will have/be:
- Experience in a regulatory/compliance environment for a corporate finance practice (for example within M&A or Debt Advisory) or exposure to this environment from working within corporate finance
- An understanding of the FCA’s regulatory framework as applied to corporate finance activities
- Excellent oral and written communication skills as you will be dealing with client facing practitioners
- Keen attention to detail as the role involves the handling of data, reviewing of legal agreements/publications as well as data analysis
- Excellent organisational skills
- Adaptable, flexible and able to work under pressure
- Ability to work effectively within a team, supporting senior members of the team
- Highly motivated with a desire to see tasks through to conclusion
Your service line: Financial Advisory
Advising clients in the moments that define their business takes multiple layers of expertise. Much more than due-diligence, this is about diverse teams of specialists coming together, crossing service lines and international borders to tackle the many, complex issues involved in major transactions. And we have one of the broadest networks in the business. Here, you’ll find fascinating, reer-building projects, market leading approaches, cutting-edge resources, huge clients and inspirational colleagues. As well as opportunities to develop a deep industry or product specialism.
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. 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. The recruitment team will provide further detail as you progress through the recruitment process.
