Join Deloitte Forensic as a Director in Sydney or Melbourne and lead complex financial crime work that helps organisations strengthen trust, respond to risk and build more effective prevention and detection programs. 

What will your typical day look like? 

From transaction monitoring uplift and customer screening transformation to fraud, sanctions and scams response, you'll lead engagements that help clients improve how they identify, manage and respond to financial crime risk. This could mean shaping advisory work, overseeing implementation activity, or guiding operate-style engagements with a clear focus on quality, practicality and outcomes. 

Working closely with senior client stakeholders, you'll scope projects, manage budgets and timelines, and lead multidisciplinary teams spanning consulting, operations, data, technology and regulatory capability. Complex information needs to become clear recommendations, practical actions and high-quality deliverables that clients can use with confidence. 

Beyond delivery, this is a role with real influence on the growth of the practice. You'll contribute to proposals, develop senior relationships across client and Deloitte networks, coach team members, and build eminence in your specialist area through thought leadership and market engagement.
