DISPUTES & INVESTIGATIONS JUNIOR CASE MANAGER

London

Leading global corporate intelligence and cyber security consultancy S-RM is seeking an exceptional investigations professional to join our dynamic Disputes & Investigations team in the UK as a junior Case Manager.

S-RM is a global intelligence and cyber security consultancy. Since 2005, we’ve helped companies, governments and private individuals solve some of their most complex and sensitive challenges.

Our Corporate Intelligence division uses the latest research and intelligence‑gathering techniques to investigate how companies and individuals really do business in today’s world. We work with some of the most prominent and sophisticated organisations to help them understand partners, customers, assets and territories across the globe. We also provide specialised investigative support to law firms, businesses and individuals in contentious situations such as litigation, commercial disputes and internal investigations.

As a Case Manager, you will play an important role in the way that we engage with our clients.
