Summer Vacation Scheme - Ethics & Regulatory Compliance

Business, Data, Analytics.

What does this team do?

Join a team who are at the forefront of supporting organisations to become responsible businesses. The Ethics & Regulatory Compliance (E&RC) team help our clients to manage evolving risk areas, navigate regulations, behave ethically and grow responsibly.

How are we helping our people achieve their ambitions?
"Since starting the graduate programme at Deloitte, I've found the constant support from your peers and my manager as well as the training sessions really helpful."

Our team has lots of different experts, in areas like Internet Regulation, Content Moderation, Competition, Anti-Bribery & Corruption, Data Privacy, AI, Ethics, Human Rights and much more. We use tech to help solve complex issues and work closely with our colleagues in Deloitte Legal to bring a truly integrated offering.  

We work across multiple sectors, helping some of the world’s largest organisations address complex ethics and compliance challenges, examples include: 

  • Tech, Media & Telecommunications – e.g. content regulation and ethical use of data 
  • Energy, Resources & Industrials – e.g. the impact of the energy transition 
  • Consumer – e.g. ethical supply chain 
  • Life Sciences & Healthcare – e.g. response to clinical trial regulation 
  • Public Sector – e.g. implementing ethics and compliance operating models.

What kind of work will I do?

We help companies build better ethics and compliance systems. This involves: 

  • Designing systems so companies can follow the rules and regulations more effectively 
  • Evaluating how well companies are doing in this area
  • Helping tech companies comply with new laws like the UK Online Safety Act and EU Digital Services
  • Creating processes and tools to meet current and future regulations
  • Finding ways to improve efficiency using technology.

This role will suit some who is a strong team player, enjoys problem solving and is able to understand issues across different types of industries. We're looking for individuals with a genuine interest in ethics and compliance and a passion for making a tangible difference in the business world.

Where will I work?

At Deloitte we recognise how important face-to-face interaction is for your development in a new role. We also understand that our people need flexibility, which is why we operate a hybrid system, with a combination of office and home working. If you’re in a client-facing role, you might be expected to attend client sites on certain days, while your meetings will be a mix of online and in-person events. Please note your final assessment and induction will also be in-person, to give you the opportunity to network and build relationships.

All our work spaces are accessible, however, if you require further flexibility due to a health condition or caring responsibilities, please discuss this with our team.

What skills and academic qualifications do I need?

You must be in the penultimate year of your course, or going onto a Master’s, and you need to be on track to achieve a predicted degree classification of 2:1 or above in any STEM discipline.

How will I develop? 

When you join the programme, you’ll become part of a supportive community of colleagues who, like you, are at the start of their careers. Your journey will begin with a comprehensive induction, designed to equip you with the skills and confidence you need to work with our clients. Throughout the programme, you’ll continue to develop through hands-on experience with your project team, alongside ongoing mentoring and support from your dedicated buddy.

Deadlines

We recommend getting your application in as soon as possible. Please note, some of our roles may close before the deadline if we experience high demand.

  • Assessment deadlines: Once you’ve applied to this role, you’ll receive an email from our recruitment team outlining next steps and the relevant deadlines for you to complete the following stages of our process. We operate a strict one application per year policy across our Early Careers opportunities. We recommend only submitting an application for a role that you feel is right for you. 

Visa Sponsorship

We’re not able to provide sponsorship for this role. However, you can apply if you hold a Student Visa which is valid for the duration. You can also only join our Summer Vacation Scheme if our dates coincide with your university summer vacation. 

What matters to you? Make it happen at Deloitte.
