Consultant / Senior Consultant | Risk & Compliance

About the job

Our client is a global executive search and talent solutions firm with specialist teams across APAC and EMEA. Consultants enjoy autonomy and are supported by leading marketing and research resources, enabling them to build deep niche expertise and deliver high-quality results efficiently.

The Opportunity

The firm is expanding its Risk & Compliance practice to meet strong, sustained demand across financial services, fintech, and corporate sectors. This role suits an experienced 360 recruiter who wants to take ownership of a clearly defined Risk & Compliance niche, build long-term partnerships, and deliver critical leadership and specialist mandates regionally.

You’ll be part of a collaborative, high-trust culture with access to regional relationships, cross-border collaboration, and a full suite of delivery models including retained search, contingent recruitment, and interim/contracting solutions.

What You Will Be Doing:

• Own your Risk & Compliance niche: Focus on areas such as Regulatory Compliance, Financial Crime / AML, Enterprise Risk, Operational Risk, Market Risk, Credit Risk, Conduct Risk, ESG / Sustainability Risk, or Internal Audit.
• Recruit across levels and sectors: Deliver mid-to-senior mandates across banking, insurance, fintech, and selected corporates.
• Develop and grow accounts: Originate, pitch, and convert new business opportunities while deepening existing client relationships.
• Manage full-cycle searches: Conduct research, market mapping, candidate outreach, shortlisting, process management, offer negotiation, and post-placement care.
• Build market presence: Publish concise insights, salary reports, or thought pieces; co-host roundtables and maintain warm candidate communities with marketing support.
• Collaborate regionally: Partner with colleagues across Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, and EMEA to deliver cross-border mandates and joint client solutions.

Who We’re Looking For:

• Proven 360 recruitment experience in Risk & Compliance or adjacent verticals such as Audit, Legal, Governance, or Financial Services.
• Track record of originating and growing client relationships across banking, insurance, or fintech.
• Commercial confidence to position contingent, retained, and contracting models based on client needs.
• Credibility with senior stakeholders including CROs, Heads of Compliance, Internal Audit leaders, and HR business partners.
• High EQ, drive, and integrity: disciplined in pipeline management, clear communication, and strong delivery follow-through.
• Regional fluency (advantageous): Japanese, Mandarin, or other Asian languages; experience managing cross-border assignments.

What’s In It For You:

• Competitive base salary and a high-upside commission structure aligned to a hunter model.
• Transparent progression to Principal / Associate Director level for those demonstrating market leadership.
• Pathways toward practice leadership for consultants who build and scale teams.
