Job description

The opportunity

Data analytics is a key component of the Forensic Technology & Discovery Services team and specializes in forensic technology services encompassing Data Science, eDiscovery, Forensic Data Analytics and Cyber-/IT Forensics. Using state of the art tools, our data scientists support clients with compliance management, fraud investigation, fraud detection, and assisting clients to respond to regulator queries.

The analytics team is a global group of technical specialists that practice the full life cycle of data management from the early stages of data scoping and capture, to its management, analysis and reporting. The nature of our work will typically require you to work with large datasets from varying data sources to support fraud investigations and disputes for our clients covering a range of industries.
