Director - Forensic Technology, Investigations & Discovery

We Do Consulting Differently

Berkeley Research Group (BRG) is a global consulting firm that helps leading organisations advance in three principal areas: disputes and investigations, corporate finance, and performance improvement and advisory. More than 1,600 professionals work across over 40 offices worldwide.

Our forensic teams bring together , chartered accountants, forensic technologists, former regulators and former prosecutors. We are known for intellectual rigour, independence and work that stands up to scrutiny in boardrooms, courts and arbitral tribunals.

The Opportunity

We are establishing BRG's Forensic Investigations practice across APAC and the UK. This is a genuine build — a new team, in a new market, with the methodology, credentials and global network of an established international firm behind it, and without the constraints of a legacy structure.

The practice focuses on the following connected disciplines: forensic accounting and fraud investigations, and forensic technology and eDiscovery. Our work typically arises where the facts are contested and the stakes are high — special investigations for supervisory boards and audit committees, allegations of financial misstatement, corruption and misappropriation, regulatory and criminal proceedings, and post-transaction disputes.

The engagement management layer of the practice. You run the work: the plan, the team, the quality and the client relationship on a day-to-day basis.

Your Responsibilities

• Design and execute a Business Development plan.
• Manage investigations day to day — work planning, team allocation, budget tracking, quality control and client communication.
• Lead teams of three to six professionals across concurrent workstreams, often under considerable time pressure.
• Design and oversee the substantive forensic analysis: transaction and journal entry testing, reconstruction of accounting records, funds tracing, third-party payment review, and analysis of large document populations.
• Conduct and document interviews with witnesses and subjects, typically alongside external counsel.
• Direct forensic technology workstreams: data preservation and processing, structured data analytics, search term design and eDiscovery review protocols.
• Draft investigation reports and sections of expert reports to a standard that will withstand challenge.
• Contribute to business development — proposals, pitches, client presentations and thought leadership.
• Coach, review and appraise junior colleagues, and take a role in recruiting as the team grows.

Your Profile

• Extensive relevant experience in forensic accounting, investigations, internal audit, transaction services or forensic technology.
