Location: European hubs (flexible)

Level: Associate Director

Employment type: Permanent, full time

Role Summary

We are seeking a commercially minded, market-facing leader to drive the growth and adoption of our portfolio of digitally enabled and AI-enhanced forensic solutions across Europe, with extension into APAC. Our Integrity & Compliance solution is a flagship offering within this portfolio and will feature prominently — but the role spans the wider set of technology-led forensic solutions we need to commercialise.

The central purpose of the role is market activation : helping country and regional Forensics teams move from traditional, manual delivery to modern, technology-led ways of serving clients — and, in doing so, unlocking new revenue. The successful candidate will partner with local leaders to build go-to-market approaches, shape and win opportunities, and accelerate the adoption of new solutions in their markets.

This is a commercial and go-to-market role first . The successful candidate does not need deep, hands‑on technical expertise, but must be fluent enough in forensic technology and AI to speak about it credibly , translate capability into client value, and help territories both commercialise and deliver these solutions.

Key Responsibilities

Strategic Market Development

Drive the execution of the European (and, by extension, APAC) growth strategy for our digitally enabled forensic solutions, aligned to global priorities and regional targets.
Identify market opportunities, emerging regulatory trends and client needs to expand the solution portfolio across countries.
Partner with Regional and Country Forensics leaders to build market plans, go-to-market approaches and priority pursuits.
Develop practical playbooks, propositions, case studies and market materials that help countries accelerate revenue and client penetration.
Track market performance and pipeline to focus effort where growth potential is greatest.

Driving Adoption & Commercial Enablement

Lead the shift from manual, traditional delivery to technology-led delivery — acting as the catalyst for behaviour change across local teams.
Equip country leaders and teams to confidently position, sell and scale technology-enabled forensic solutions.
Act as a trusted commercial advisor to country leaders establishing or expanding these offerings.
Facilitate knowledge sharing and leading practices across Europe and APAC to build commercial momentum and consistency.

Client Engagement & Commercial Leadership

Support strategic pursuits and priority opportunities across the forensic solution portfolio, including Integrity & Compliance, investigations, monitoring, forensic data analytics, eDiscovery, third‑party and regulatory risk, and AI‑enabled solutions.

Identify cross‑border opportunities and bring global capability to bear to win and deliver client work.
Drive pipeline development and revenue growth across priority markets.
