The role of a Protiviti Graduate

At Protiviti, our graduates are part of delivering solutions to our clients from day one. We offer travel opportunities, an approachable work environment and extensive training to provide you with the technical skills you need to advance your career. Our approach is tailored to your specific requirements to help you achieve your career aspirations. To us a career is about more than just working – it’s about opportunities to lead, learn, grow and make a difference.

As a core member of a project team, you will help identify, prioritise and manage risks for our clients to enhance their organisational performance and business value. You will learn technical skills in general risk areas, and will have the ability to identify and evaluate control effectiveness and gaps between risks and controls. You will also be exposed to Protiviti’s methodologies, tools and technologies used to meet our client’s requirements.

All our graduates are assigned a buddy, a Consultant or Senior Consultant to guide you through day-to-day life at Protiviti, and an advisor, a Manager or Senior Manager to coach you through your career, including helping you set the goals you aim to achieve each year.
