Ashurst Risk Advisory was created to respond to client demand and is designed to provide risk expertise that complements Ashurst's core legal services.

We provide the opportunity to work with an expertise-led team that has been consistently growing since its inception, and is dedicated to collaboration, diversity, transparency and innovation. Our vision is to create a unique culture in the consulting market based around a flat, collaborative structure that offers everyone the opportunity to work closely with Directors, Partners and clients on engagements. This means you have on the job training with your leaders, direct involvement with business development, clear recognition for your performance, and greater career opportunities.

The Opportunity

As a result of exponential growth our Data & Analytics team is looking to hire Specialists (equivalent to a Consultant/Senior Consultant in Big4 consulting) to grow our advanced analytics, modelling, and digitised risk solution offerings in Australia. We support our clients, by working in close collaboration with our legal counter-parts and teams across the Risk Advisory practice to focus on how data and analytics can be used to deliver a best-in-class legal led consulting service.

We combine our advanced analytics and data science expertise to design and deliver data-driven risk management solutions across a vast array of domains from financial crime to employment to cybersecurity to name just a few.

During a regular week as a Specialist, you might be:

• Developing and deploying analytical models to identify, quantify and manage risk across client organisations.
• Building tooling and digitised solutions that embed sustainable risk management capabilities within client operations.
• Modelling and advanced analytics, leveraging strategic data assets and codifying business and regulatory rules to uncover, interpret, and communicate patterns in data, to drive business value and manage risk.

As a Specialist, you will also support Partners, Directors and Executives to identify and execute business development activities to build the Ashurst Risk Advisory brand, including owning the creation of proposals.

We are interested in hearing from you if:

• You are an experienced consultant with demonstrated capability and expertise in advanced analytics, model development, or building digitised solutions to manage risk.
• You have 3-4 years' experience, either in a data analytics, data science, or quantitative risk role in a major organisation, or a client facing role within a well-respected consulting firm.
• You're excited about using your data and analytics expertise to solve a diverse range of client problems with new, unique and inventive solutions, and assist in the growth of a unique and 'first to market' practice.
• It's desirable if you're experienced and comfortable with the common tools in this space. We typically work with Python, SQL, Alteryx, and cloud platforms, alongside visualisation tools such as PowerBI or Tableau.
