Background and objectives

Operating from more than 28 countries and 70 offices, the Kroll Corporate Finance business (formerly known as Duff & Phelps) helps clients realise business goals across M&A, restructuring, financing and other corporate transactions. We have an established, and truly global TAS practice, that has multidisciplinary capabilities across strategic / commercial, financial, tax, operations and IT / cyber due diligence. Our Practice is rapidly growing market share, to become a major challenger to the traditional Big 4 accounting and other consulting firms, at a time of unprecedented regulatory and market upheaval.

We are investing to grow our Strategy & Commercial Diligence capability, especially in the German-speaking markets (preferably located in Frankfurt am Main), to complement our broader TAS capabilities. This is a rare opportunity to join a dynamic and growing team with unmatched benefits and challenges:

• Contribution to shaping and driving the growth of the Kroll TAS business in the German-speaking markets as well as in Europe and globally
• High levels of responsibility and autonomy
• Contribution to work-winning, client development and execution opportunities based on an issues-led approach across a range of sectors – variety and stretch
• Opportunities to work alongside colleagues on multi-disciplinary projects as part of a collegiate and entrepreneurial group
• Flexible and performance-based reward structure that is based on a “one-firm” approach and not constrained by territorial / personal boundaries; and
• Real opportunity for accelerated progression

• Contribute to the development of hypotheses / insights on key issues and actively contribute to the wider team discussion
• Collaborate with project team members – often across disciplines – to flag and address emerging diligence issues
• Work closely with the broader Kroll team to contribute to the application of sound project management principles and quality assurance at all stages and phases of projects

REQUIREMENTS:

• Ambitious, disciplined self-starter; intellectually curious
• Excellent academic track record
• Demonstrated analytical and problem-solving skills
• Demonstrated interpersonal and client relationships skills
• Proven written and verbal communication skills

• Experience working with diverse teams; and
• Flexibility to travel, as needed

We value the ability to operate with flexibility and autonomy whilst being part of a tight-knit, collaborative team who have fun working hard.
