ppThe aim of compliance-driven due diligence is to assess our clients’ actual or potential counterparties, looking for any issues that might pose a reputational or other risk to them. As part of a dedicated team (VANTAGE), the compliance due diligence researcher role involves media research, working with databases, primary documents and other sources to uncover reputational and criminal issues and ultimate beneficial ownership, as well as making sense of complex corporate structures and identifying possible political and sanctions exposure. The main task is to review, coordinate and report the findings of OSINT and HUMINT research concisely within short timeframes. This requires meticulous attention to detail, a team‑playing attitude, the ability to handle complex information, and a clear, crisp writing style. /p h3What you'll do /h3 ul liWork on a range of due diligence assignments, which include corporate compliance/ABAC/ESG and financial crime/IPO/KYC projects /li liConduct media and database research using complex search criteria and following a strict methodology /li liLiaise with in‑country source networks to obtain relevant compliance‑related information not available via OSINT sources /li liAnalyse search results within the context of the project and the country /li liDistil conclusions and identify indirect connections from research findings /li liRate findings based on standard or tailored risk assessment methodologies /li liSummarise all relevant findings in a report /li liWhen required,
