Job Description

At AlixPartners, we solve the most complex and critical challenges by moving quickly from analysis to action when it really matters; creating value that has a lasting impact on companies, their people, and the communities they serve. By understanding, respecting, and honouring the needs of our employees, clients, and communities, AlixPartners actively promotes an inclusive environment. We strongly believe in the value that diversity brings to our experiences and are committed to the perpetual enhancements of initiatives, policies, and practices. We hold ourselves accountable by providing the space for authenticity, growth, and equity for everyone.
AlixPartners has embraced a hybrid work model to provide flexibility and support our employees’ work-life integration. Our hybrid model combines a mix of in-person (at client site or AlixPartners office) and remote working. Travel is part of this position, but the frequency may vary based on client, team, and individual circumstances.

The Risk Advisory practice provides expert advice and leadership to companies and senior management, helping them to resolve business critical regulatory, risk and legal matters. Our clients include global organisations, and as part of the Risk family you will work alongside senior experts and leaders with years of experience in the areas of investigations, disputes and risk management.

AlixPartners has assembled a team of highly talented technology and data experts, to help blue-chip clients solve their business-critical regulatory and legal challenges.

This expert team is responsible for a wide variety of high impact, high stakes matters, helping clients to navigate regulatory or legal investigations, undertake complex organisational change, or supporting senior management to meet its strategic objectives.

What you’ll do

An opportunity has become available for a Vice President to join our Risk Analytics team in London. The Risk Analytics team specializes in providing expert support to our clients, and their external legal counsel, when they face critical legal and regulatory challenges, whether that be a big-ticket litigation or high-stakes investigation by a national regulator. The Risk Analytics team help to:

• Understand the client’s IT estate (both current and legacy) to understand how this functioned and identify relevant data from these systems that needs to be analysed.
• Analyse systems, data flows and algorithms to understand potential issues with these.
• Extract and analyse Big Data structured datasets from systems, turning huge volumes of data into easy-to-understand analysis and charts.
• Use technology and advanced data analytics to automate the rectification of business issues, avoiding the cost of manual processes.

The work we do will form the basis of reports and advocacy to the Courts and Regulators, and therefore we apply a forensic standard, where attention to detail, creative thinking, and the ability to identify and challenge assumptions is of paramount importance. You will regularly work with teams of lawyers from top-tier international law firms and will be responsible for helping them understand and navigate the client’s often complex technology and data landscape. We are looking for intelligent, pragmatic and results-focused individuals who can operate on a wide range of local and international engagements.

• You will be working with complex data sets (financial, operational and otherwise) leading the production of fundamental results to be used by testifying experts, barristers, lawyers and senior stakeholders in courts and in front of regulators.
• You will be involved in the design, build and management of data models to solve complex business problems and will work directly with passionate, creative and technically proficient colleagues and clients to leverage true value from these data models.
• You will challenge data quality and completeness, the assumptions we make in developing our analysis and develop technical documentation which support our conclusions.
• You will not only develop and build key tools for client delivery but will interface and liaise directly with our client and consultant group, demonstrating your expertise and mastery of the data. You and your stakeholder management are part of the solution.
