Senior Consultant

Role purpose

Our Tokyo office is currently expanding its organization in response to the rapidly growing market for risk and crisis-related business. With the rise in geopolitical risks, demand for consulting in risk management and governance is increasing. We position these areas as key drivers of growth and are strengthening our specialist teams accordingly.
