About this role

At Grant Thornton the Financial Crime Risk Manager role sits within the firm’s insolvency service lines. It provides embedded, chargeable specialist support directly to live insolvency appointments across asset recovery, restructuring and financial services teams.

The position leads delivery of first-line financial-crime support on engagements. Working closely with Insolvency Practitioners and case teams, it identifies, assesses and resolves AML, sanctions and suspicious-activity risks while maintaining momentum on complex, time-sensitive appointments.
