The Opportunity

Join the Elevate Programme and build a career in business operations within a major professional services environment. You receive structured training, mentoring, and hands-on experience in one of Belfast's most exciting offices, with a clear path to longer-term career opportunities at the firm. This particular team will deliver Client Onboarding for one of Belfast's largest companies. Client onboarding sits at the front door of the firm. It is the process of setting up a new client or a new engagement so the work can start safely and on time. It matters because it protects the firm and its clients by ensuring the right risk and compliance steps are taken, the right documents are in the right systems.

In this role, that means you take ownership of engagement requests, complete risk onboarding tasks, track every action in Case Manager, upload risk documents to the relevant systems, and keep stakeholders updated so cases move forward with minimal escalation.

A Typical Day

• Attend a team huddle and confirm priorities.
• Pick up new cases and progress existing cases in Case Manager.
• Review documentation, identify gaps, and request what you need from stakeholders.
• Recognise urgency when you spot issues or concerns. Escalate when required.
• Update stakeholders on what you completed and what remains outstanding.
• Capture learning and suggest improvements to the team.

• Strong attention to detail and a process-led mindset.
