Connect to your opportunity
Quality, Risk and Security (QRS) are expanding their team of highly skilled professionals. This is a growing department that provides expert guidance to enable the firm to grow with purpose, protect and enhance our reputation and brand with quality at the core, and to deliver value.
This is an entry level role with no prior quality and risk experience required - you’ll need to have exceptional attention to detail, be highly organised, have strong communication skills, and have the ability to work under pressure within a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
We are part of a national department, operating primarily out of our Cardiff office, and form a
division of both the firm’s Quality, Risk & Security (QRS) function as well as being a part of the overall Central Business Services team. The main focus of our Centre of Excellence is to support our client facing colleagues across the UK firm and Deloitte network in this fast paced and ever-changing environment.

This role offers the opportunity to work in a challenging yet rewarding environment within QRS Services in Cardiff, utilising your analytical skills to ensure the firms compliance with underlying regulations, whilst enabling client-facing teams to devote more of their time to providing services to their clients. Additionally, individuals who demonstrate sufficient capacity and commitment in their primary roles might be given the opportunity to contribute to other projects, thus aiding their personal development.
Specific responsibilities include:
- Manage and respond to helpdesk queries, providing guidance to Deloitte personnel on independence and investment account requirements.
- Perform monitoring and control activities to identify potential compliance issues, investigate exceptions, and ensure timely resolution.
- Administer and maintain records within compliance system and other independence systems, ensuring data is accurate and up to date.
- Conduct regular reviews of financial provider data feeds, investigating discrepancies and escalating issues where required.
- Support independence compliance processes for new joiners, lateral hires, and existing personnel, ensuring records meet policy requirements.
- Liaise with external providers and internal stakeholders to resolve account, data, and operational queries.

Personal independence
Regulation and controls are standard practice in our industry and Deloitte is no exception. These controls provide important legal protection for both you and the firm. We are subject to a number of audit regulations, one of which requires that certain colleagues abide by specific personal independence constraints (e.g., in relation to any financial interests and employment relationships). This can mean that you and your "Immediate Family Members" are not permitted to hold certain financial interests (shares, funds, bonds etc.) with audit clients of the firm, and also prohibitions on certain employment relationships (e.g., you are not permitted to hold a secondary employment role with SEC audit clients of the firm whilst being employed by the firm). The recruitment team will provide further detail as you progress through the recruitment process or you can contact the Independence team upon request.
