Based in Seattle, this role provides the opportunity to work with high-growth and global technology organizations operating on microservices architectures and AI-driven engineering environments. We are seeking a Senior Consultant to support risk, compliance, and control activities across modern, highly automated technology ecosystems. This role requires a strong foundation in SOX, cloud environments, and software development practices, including exposure to AI-assisted development and product development lifecycles (PDLC/SDLC). You will work with engagement teams and client stakeholders to support the design, assessment, and implementation of scalable, audit-ready risk and compliance frameworks within complex technology environments.
Your key responsibilities:
As a Senior Consultant in our Digital Risk practice, you will contribute to the delivery of Digital Risk engagements, executing key activities across workstreams and supporting overall engagement objectives in cloud-native environments.

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
