We are looking for candidates who are in their final year of study to join our team as Graduates in early 2023. We also have the opportunity to join earlier on a part-time basis while you complete your studies. If this sounds like you, please submit an application!

As a Graduate Consultant, you will get the opportunity to work across a multitude of industries and organisations. You will spend significant time with clients to understand their business problems and advise on processes gaps and improvement opportunities. This involves:

• Contributing to the planning and scoping stage of the project;
• Documenting and forming a point of view on matters discussed in meetings;
• Conducting fieldwork to understand the business problems;
• Preparing findings and creating client deliverables.

Protiviti Melbourne's consulting solutions span critical business problems in Technology, Internal Audit and Financial Advisory (IAFA), and Risk and Compliance. Depending on client demand and staffing availability, you may gain exposure to projects across one or more of these consulting solutions:

Risk and Compliance:

Risk and Compliance (R&C) engagements aim to partner with management, board members and outside counsel to help organisations comply with regulatory requirements, respond to situations of non-compliance, and improve the processes around information systems supporting governance, risk and compliance (GRC). A typical Risk and Compliance engagement will involve:

• Reviewing and assessing legislation and regulatory requirements;
• Developing effective compliance monitoring solutions;
• Assisting the client to take a disciplined approach in managing risks through a combination of assessments, process improvement, and model validation and review.

Technology Consulting:

Technology Consulting (TC) practices help our clients to design and implement advanced solutions in technology strategy, cloud solutions, IT governance, security, data management, applications, compliance and much more. A typical IT consulting engagement will involve:

• Analysing an organisation's data and interviewing stakeholders to develop strategic advice on technology to achieve business goals, improve business processes, reduce risk or maximise use of technology opportunities.
• Determining information system requirements and defining project objectives; and
• Making recommendations, such as the implementation of specialised systems or redesign of processes

Internal Audit and Financial Advisory:

Internal Audit and Financial Advisory (IAFA) is an independent assurance and consulting activity that improves an organisation's operations by evaluating and improving risk management, controls and governance processes. A typical IAFA engagement will involve:

• Researching better practice and examining the efficacy of procedures;
• Creating process maps to better visualise processes and suggest improvements; and
• Developing risk and controls matrices to understand how different business processes are governed.

As Consultants progress in their careers, the focus shifts from gaining transferable experience to specialising in an industry or solution. We are committed to attracting and developing a diverse workforce of professionals that share the common value of collaboration.
