Advisory Specialist I

Here’s a summary of the role:

Starting your career in consulting and want real exposure to audit, risk, and compliance projects from day one? This role gives you the opportunity to work directly with clients, understand how businesses manage risk, and help deliver technology-driven solutions that make a measurable impact.

You’ll support end-to-end project delivery—working on discovery sessions, configuring solutions, and helping clients adopt new processes. If you’re curious, detail-oriented, and eager to build expertise in governance, risk, and compliance, this is a strong launchpad for your consulting career.

Here’s a breakdown of what you’ll do:

• Support delivery of audit, risk, and compliance solutions for global clients


• Assist in discovery sessions and requirements gathering by analyzing client processes


• Help configure and test solution prototypes based on client needs


• Deliver training and enablement sessions to support user adoption


• Maintain documentation, issue logs, and project updates to ensure smooth delivery


• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to resolve client requests and improve outcomes

These are the essentials you’ll need to get an interview:

• Up to 3 years of experience in a client-facing, consulting, or support role


• Strong interest or exposure to compliance, risk management, vendor management, or information security


• Ability to engage with clients and support solution discussions


• Strong teamwork and adaptability in fast-paced environments


• Good analytical and problem-solving skills


• Proficiency in Microsoft Office (especially Excel)

It would be great if you had these too, but we’ll support you if you don’t:

• Degree in a relevant field (e.g., Business, Compliance, Engineering, Information Security, MIS)


• Exposure to GRC tools or analytics platforms


• Experience working with technology-based solutions or platforms
