• Work closely with the broader Kroll team to ensure the application of sound project management principles and quality assurance at all stages and phases of projects;
• Manage key project metrics;
• Understand the capabilities of our wider firm and identify opportunities to cross-sell additional services to our clients; and
• Play an active role in people initiatives, including recruiting, developing and retaining staff

REQUIREMENTS

• Open-minded, ambitious and self motivated;

• Flexibility to travel, as needed;
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills that help represent diverse communities;
• Experience working with diverse teams;
• Good command of English is a must, as a high part of the work will be carried out in this language;
• Command of other languages (French or German for example)  is highly valued;

Necessarily successful candidates will have a set of characteristics and attributes that can thrive in this challenging and dynamic environment.  We value the ability to operate with flexibility and autonomy whilst being part of a tight-knit, collaborative team who have fun working hard.  We don’t support a parochial, “eat-what-you-kill” culture and are looking for strong team players who will absolutely buy-in to the longer-term strategic ambitions of the wider business.
