Description

Get to know us, our clients and start learning more about yourself. As a placement student in the Technology Risk Services team, you’ll join us for 12 months for an opportunity to get stuck in with real responsibility, gain an insight into life as a trainee and fast track to a graduate role.

You’ll be connecting with the issues our clients are facing, quantifying risk and advising how to mitigate them. The constantly evolving landscape calls for an approach that puts what’s right first, so you will need to push ideas harder and ask the difficult questions to give clients the assurance they need to support their ambitions and growth.

All organisations need to manage risks to their business to function at an optimum level and deliver value to their stakeholders. Within Technology Risk Services (TRS), this is vitally important work: the team looks at the risks arising from businesses’ use of technology, including cyber security, digital systems, IT resilience, emerging technologies, artificial intelligence, social media, and major transformation programmes. Our clients range from international hotel chains and global retailers to UK based automotive manufactures and major UK charities. Your role in the team would be to help advise our clients on the technology risks facing their business and how to operate efficiently and securely. There’ll be challenges along the way, as you explore different businesses to identify and analyse areas vulnerable to risk. But you’ll be supported and able to meet each one with a solution. That’s how you excel here.
