RiskSphere is a boutique consultancy firm committed to creating a positive impact for our clients and the world. With high ambitions and boundless energy, we invite you to join us on our journey.

The role

Our clients represent a wide range of industries, but they all share a common challenge: adapting to the changing environmental, social, and governance landscape. They require comprehensive understanding of the risks they face, as well as how to leverage the opportunities presented by economic, geopolitical, technological, and ecological disruptions. Our team provides expert advice and guidance, from risk assessment to measurement and regulatory compliance, helping them navigate these transitions. 

As Principal Consultant, you will play a crucial role in guiding clients through these changes. You will provide expert advice, oversee projects, and lead teams to ensure successful execution. In addition to client engagements, you will contribute to RiskSphere’s overall management and development, including strategy, thought leadership, and coaching. We expect you to drive a key business line such as recruitment, sales, or proposition development.
