Researcher (fluent Danish, Swedish or Norwegian)

Control Risks
London
The 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.

Your main task will be to review, coordinate and report the findings of OSINT and HUMINT research concisely within short timeframes. A meticulous eye for detail is a must in this challenging, fast-paced role. The right candidate will be a team player who can maintain a positive attitude under pressure. You will be required to make sense of complex information and have a clear and crisp writing style.

What you'll do:
  • Work on a range of due diligence assignments, which include corporate compliance/ABAC/ESG and financial crime/IPO/KYC projects
  • Conduct media and database research using complex search criteria and following a strict methodology
  • Liaise with in-country source networks to obtain relevant compliance-related information not available via OSINT sources.
  • Analyse search results within the context of the project and the country,
  • Distil conclusions and identify indirect connections from research findings
  • Rate findings based on standard or tailored risk assessment methodologies
  • Summarise all relevant findings in a report
  • When required, brief and present findings to internal colleagues
  • Collaborate with team members across the firm to deliver joint projects
Requirements

Essential
  • Knowledge of research techniques, databases, networks, online registers and archives, and research in the general internet
  • Knowledge of the business, political, and social context of a geographical area
  • Native or equivalent fluency in English and Danish, Swedish or Norwegian

  • Communicate complex topics verbally and in writing effectively
  • Ability to summarise large amounts of information in a clear and concise manner
  • Ability to manage and prioritise multiple tasks to tight deadlines
  • Curiosity, attention to detail and problem-solving skills
  • Ability to work independently and in a team
  • Education to degree level
Preferred
  • Demonstrated professional experience
  • Additional fluency in another Scandinavian language
