Overview
As an Assistant Manager within our Privacy Team within Risk Advisory Services (RAS), you will play a key role in delivering high‑quality Privacy engagements for a diverse range of clients. You will take responsibility for leading defined engagements or workstreams, supporting engagement planning and delivery, and ensuring work is completed to a high standard in line with BDO methodology.
You will work closely with the rest of the Privacy team, building trusted client relationships and contributing to the effective delivery of engagements.
Alongside this, you will support the development of junior team members and continue to build your technical capability, professional judgement and leadership skills as you progress towards Manager level.
The role combines engagement, and portfolio management with hands on delivery. Typically, you will spend around 40% of your time on management activities—such as business development activities, engagement planning, portfolio oversight and project management—and 60% leading Privacy engagements, with this balance flexing in line with your experience and development.
