Banking Risk & Compliance Director | Fast Track to Partner | Paris

Location: Paris, France

Level: Director

Opportunity: Fast Track to Partner + Equity

The Opportunity

We are working with a highly innovative global management consulting firm that is making substantial investment in its Banking Risk & Compliance capabilities in France.

The firm combines the international reach and client base of a major consulting organisation with a much more entrepreneurial and collaborative operating model . The leadership culture is deliberately low-politics and no-elbows, giving senior individuals considerable freedom to develop clients, propositions and teams.

There is also significant investment being made in Data & AI technologies , with the opportunity to build new AI-enabled consulting assets and collaborate with colleagues across Europe and the wider global organisation .

As part of this expansion, the firm is looking for a commercially strong Banking Risk & Compliance Director with the ambition to progress rapidly towards Partner.

The Role

You will advise major French banking organisations across areas such as:

• Banking Risk & Regulatory Transformation
• KYC & Remediation Programmes
• Regulatory Compliance
• Internal & Permanent Control
• Operational Risk
• Basel II / Basel III / Basel IV

The underlying mandate is focused particularly on financial crime, regulatory compliance, permanent control, operational risk and remediation programmes.

Commercial capability is critical.

You should have evidence of personally developing business , rather than simply managing existing accounts or delivering programmes originated by Partners. The firm is looking for someone capable of opening doors, originating assignments and developing a substantial client portfolio.

Strong existing relationships with major French banks, financial institutions and CAC 40 organisations would be highly attractive.

Why Join?

• Fast track to Partner for the right individual
• Excellent remuneration plus an attractive equity component
• Significant investment in Banking Risk, Compliance and AI
• Opportunity to develop new AI-enabled Risk & Compliance solutions
• Entrepreneurial freedom to build propositions, clients and teams
• International collaboration across Europe and globally
• Highly collaborative senior leadership with a no-elbows culture
• Limited bureaucracy and internal restrictions
• Opportunity to play a major role in building a growing practice

Who We Are Looking For

You should currently work, or have worked very recently, within a top management consulting firm , with strong Banking Risk & Compliance experience.

We are particularly interested in Directors and high-performing Senior Managers who can demonstrate real business development and revenue origination , alongside strong technical credibility.

Fluent French is essential. Excellent English is highly desirable given the international nature of the organisation.

If you are interested in discussing the opportunity confidentially, we would be very pleased to hear from you.
