About the role
Risk Advisory’s Business Intelligence & Investigations team is looking to add an experienced Portuguese-speaking investigator, based in its Washington DC office. We are seeking to employ a corporate investigator who is ready to work in an international, fast-paced and research-intensive environment with interesting clients. This role is designed for ambitious candidates who have at least one to two years of experience in corporate investigations, litigation support and due diligence, with a solid understanding of the common regulatory and reputational risks in Latin America.
We are looking for candidates who have experience handling complex cases in the region, with expertise in sophisticated public record and social media research. We also welcome experience in conducting investigative interviews and drawing on human intelligence sources. An in-depth knowledge of regional politics and economics is helpful for this position. Candidates who have also spent considerable time in Brazil or one or more other countries in the region – by birth or by personal, academic or professional background – will be preferred.
Producing high-quality written analysis is an essential component of this position. As such, candidates must possess outstanding research and writing skills and will be tested on both during the application process. In addition to fluent spoken and written English, native or near native fluency in Portuguese is critical for the role. Candidates who also have knowledge of Spanish will have an advantage.
Strong interpersonal skills are also a requirement for this role. The successful candidate will form part of a dynamic team and will liaise directly with our clients on a regular basis.
We offer challenging and interesting work as part of an international team, a competitive salary, generous vacation time, hybrid working, and a package of other benefits.
If you are interested in becoming part of our team, please present your application. We will only accept candidates who have the right to work in the US – please state in your application that this is the case.
Candidates we would like to meet will be invited for an introductory conversation. Successful candidates will then be invited to take a writing test, with additional interviews to follow shortly thereafter.
