The aim of compliance-driven due diligence is to assess our clients’ presente 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.What you'll doWork on a range of due diligence assignments,
