Practice Overview: Ankura’s Risk Advisory group, specifically the Forensic Data & Analytics (FDA) team, focuses on high-profile investigations, regulatory compliance, and financial crimes. We excel in navigating complex environments through "Collaborative Lateral Thinking," bringing together diverse expertise to look at problems from unconventional angles. Our team is currently expanding into key markets including New York, Chicago, and Washington, D.C. Role Overview: The Director is a pivotal leadership role requiring a blend of technical mastery and strategic business acumen. You will oversee project workstreams, manage project teams, and act as a primary point of contact for clients. Value Proposition: This is a unique opportunity to build out a practice in expanding offices (including NY, DC and Chicago) and influence the team's culture and capabilities from the ground up. You will have direct exposure to diverse, challenging projects with significant business and legal impact. Ideally this role will be hybrid based out of one of our locations; however, remote locations will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Responsibilities: Oversee entire project workstreams and ensure rigorous quality control across all deliverables. Manage and mentor project teams, providing guidance on analysis and fostering professional development.

Requirements: 4–5+ years of experience in investigations, litigation, or regulatory compliance projects. 4-6+ years of experience using SQL and Python, preferably with additional experience in Tableau, Power BI, R, and / or cloud-based analytics platforms (e.g., Databricks, BigQuery, etc.) Proven track record of leading teams and managing complex client expectations. Strong business acumen paired with advanced technical proficiency in SQL and Python. Exceptional communication and presence, with the ability to articulate complex ideas with confidence, to both internal and external stakeholders. Highly adaptable and able to thrive in an environment that demands "Collaborative Lateral Thinking." Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States without the need for visa sponsorship now or in the future. For individuals assigned and/or hired to work in California, Colorado, or New York, Ankura is required to include a reasonable estimate of the compensation range for this role.

The disclosed range estimate has not been adjusted for the applicable geographic differential associated with the location at which the position may be filled. The range does not include additional benefits outside of salary. At Ankura, it is not typical for an individual to be hired at or near the top of the range for their role and compensation decisions are dependent on the facts and circumstances of each role. A reasonable estimate of the current base pay range is between $100,000 to $160,000; this range is not a promise of a particular wage. #LI-KW1 #LI-hybrid Ankura is an Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity Employer.
