Forensic Technology

What does this team do?

The Forensic Technology team is responsible for identifying and gathering digital evidence around our client's biggest and most complex legal, regulatory and economic crime challenges. We help them to build solutions and conduct analysis so they can improve their overall operations and reduce risk to the business.

Our services help a varied client base, from small companies to large corporates with a global presence. We love working with data and we want to help our clients get the most from theirs, whether they are investigating potential fraud or supporting complex regulatory and legal matters. We work on highly sensitive and varied projects using new technology, combining investigative skills with technical expertise.

What skills and academic qualifications do I need?

You must be in the penultimate year of your course, or going onto a Masters, and you need to be on track to achieve a predicted degree classification of 2:1 or above in any discipline. We have identified 10 core skills that are essential to all our roles in Early Careers. To learn more about these skills and their detailed descriptions, please visit the 'Discover What We Look For' section in our Candidate Zone.

If you're fascinated by business and can't wait to get stuck into complex projects that make a difference, you'll fit right in.

What kind of work will I do?

This six-week placement puts you at the heart of our business, surrounded by experts who can help you flourish. You'll do real work from day one, using what you've learnt at university to help solve complex problems.

Some of your tasks might include:

• Supporting lawyers and investigators in identifying digital evidence relevant to the investigation, dispute or litigation
• Visiting client offices to collect data from sources such as servers, laptops, mobile devices or social media, working covertly if needed
• Using advanced data mining, generative AI and computer forensics tools to gain a deep understanding of digital evidence and uncover corporate misconduct
• Researching and contributing to the development of cutting-edge solutions that address real-world challenges. This includes working with and implementing new techniques and technologies to create valuable management information (MI) for our clients
• Learning and using advanced data science techniques including coding languages such as SQL and Python, to analyse data.

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.

All our workspaces are accessible, however, if you require further flexibility due to a health condition or caring responsibilities, please discuss this with our team. You can find further information on our parent and carer policies here.

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.
