Technology risk assurance - get the career you want at RSM
Our technology risk assurance graduate apprenticeship programme will give you all the skills and support you need to unlock a future that’s packed with opportunities and new experiences. You’ll enjoy a fast-tracked business career that recognises your potential and rewards your ambition.
When you join our team, you’ll enjoy a powerful combination of on-the-job learning and structured training – not to mention an impressive client list to work with. You’ll discover a culture that nurtures individuality and an environment where everyone is supported to reach their potential. With us, you’ll always be moving forward.
What does our technology risk assurance team do?
In an era when technology has become essential to the running of almost every organisation, the slightest disruption to IT services can have catastrophic results. Our technology risk assurance team helps companies identify and mitigate risks, so a business can avoid disruption where possible. We also help companies to protect their networks from cybercrimes to reduce the risk of confidential data losses.
What can you expect?
At RSM, you’ll be a key member of our team from day one. You’ll get involved in client work very quickly, initially working as part of a larger team before taking on individual responsibility for projects. The depth of services and clients you’ll be exposed to will help you kick-start your career.
RSM’s graduate apprenticeship in technology risk assurance is infinitely varied, interesting and rewarding. No client is the same so you’ll be constantly challenged. Alongside hands-on experience, you’ll benefit from on-the-job training from more senior members of the team and gain access to our internal training courses that will help you develop in the role. With our support, you’ll become a true trusted adviser to your clients in the future.
When you join this team, you’ll work towards your professional qualifications by completing a 4-year graduate apprenticeship programme. This consists of the CISA qualification (Certified Information Systems Auditor) for the first two years, followed by the CRISC (Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control certification) for the remaining two years.
What we look for
We’re on the lookout for enthusiastic self-starters who are always up for a challenge. Technology risk assurance is a demanding and ever-changing discipline, so we look for graduates who are willing to learn and quick to grasp new subjects.
You’ll be working on a wide variety of projects, so it’s important that you’re adaptable, highly organised and have great attention to detail. Strong verbal and written communication skills are essential as you’ll be communicating at all levels, often explaining complex information both in meetings and in written reports.
If that sounds like you, we know you’ll enjoy being part of our team.
Flexible working
At RSM we work hard to create an environment where our people can make a difference - to themselves, their career, their teams, and to the success of our firm and clients. We support all our people to work flexibly, to manage their family and other responsibilities alongside their work commitments; we believe this is key to achieving an inspiring and fulfilling working environment.
