Asset Tracer (In-House)
London | ~5–6 years’ experience (±)
Discreet, investigative, outcomes-driven

The Opportunity

We are hiring an Asset Tracer to join a lean, high-performance team operating in a principal-side environment. This is not a traditional corporate role, and not a classic “advisory / client delivery” position.

Instead, this is an opportunity for someone who genuinely enjoys the craft of asset tracing and investigative research — but who wants real ownership of outcomes, working directly towards recoveries, enforcement strategy, and actionable intelligence.

The culture is less corporate, more hedge fund: direct, fast-moving, intellectually demanding, and focused on results.

Key Responsibilities

Asset Tracing & Investigative Intelligence
 

• Conduct end-to-end asset tracing across individuals and corporates, including complex cross-border structures.
• Map beneficial ownership and control through layered entities, nominees, trusts, proxies, and intermediaries.
• Build evidence-led profiles of asset location, asset movement, and concealment methods.
• Generate traceable outputs suitable for enforcement-led strategies (clear, structured, defensible).

Forensic / “Detective Work” (Adjacent Investigations)
 

• Support broader investigative work requiring forensic logic, persistence and pattern-recognition.
• Identify inconsistencies, hidden links, networks, and unexplained financial or ownership behaviour.
• Combine open-source, proprietary databases, and human-led enquiry to uncover facts others miss.

Case Ownership & Internal Partnership
 

• Take ownership of workstreams and deliver intelligence directly into decision-making.
• Work closely with legal, enforcement, disputes, risk, and strategy stakeholders.
• Contribute to building internal standards, methods, templates, and repeatable playbooks.

Candidate Profile (What “Good” Looks Like)
Experience
 

• 5–6 years’ experience in asset tracing / investigations / intelligence / disputes support.
• Background may include:
• Specialist asset tracing / investigations firms
• Corporate intelligence
• Forensic / disputes advisory
• Enforcement support
• Complex due diligence with a heavy tracing component

Mindset & Personality
 

• Naturally tenacious, persistent, and hard to discourage.
• Enjoys the process: digging, hypothesis-testing, connecting fragments, pulling threads.
• Thrives on ambiguity and complexity; gets satisfaction from uncovering hidden truths.
• Strong sense of ownership — wants their work to directly drive outcomes, not just deliverables.

Skills
 

• Strong investigative research capability using OSINT + databases (and knowing how to validate).
• Comfortable working independently; excellent judgement and discretion.
• Clear written outputs: concise, defensible, and decision-useful.

Environment & Culture Fit
 

• Lean, direct, high trust.
• Less process, more outcomes.
• Strong alignment to those who prefer special situations / hedge fund energy over large-firm formality.
• A role for someone who wants to be closer to the action, with real accountability.

Why This Role
 

• Work with real ownership and accountability.
• High autonomy and responsibility.
• Exposure to complex, high-stakes matters (often cross-border).
• A platform for someone who wants to be known internally as the person who “finds what others can’t.”

Salary:
 

• £50,000- £90,000 (depending on experience)
