We are seeking a Manager to support risk, compliance, and control transformation across highly automated and continuously evolving ecosystems. This role requires a combination of SOX knowledge, cloud architecture understanding, and familiarity with modern software development practices, including AI-assisted coding and product development lifecycles (PDLC/SDLC).
You will work closely with senior team members and client stakeholders, including finance, technology, and engineering teams, to support the design and implementation of scalable, audit-ready risk and compliance frameworks within complex technology environments.
Your key responsibilities
As a Manager in our Digital Risk practice, you will support the delivery of complex Digital Risk engagements, owning key workstreams and contributing to overall program execution across cloud-native environments.

- Provide technical guidance within your areas of expertise, supporting team members on cloud, platform, and engineering risk considerations
- Design and evaluate controls across DevOps, CI/CD pipelines, SDLC/PDLC processes, and distributed platforms, including APIs, microservices, data environments, and AI-enabled systems
Skills and attributes for success
Demonstrate strong understanding of cloud-native architectures, distributed systems, and modern engineering practices, applying that knowledge to support the design and assessment of scalable control solutions.
Exhibit an AI-aware risk mindset, with the ability to identify risks introduced by AI-assisted development and automated engineering workflows. Demonstrate architecture fluency, interpreting system interactions and data flows to support control design and evaluation.
Build engineering credibility, partnering effectively with DevOps, platform, and data teams within complex environments. Apply your TMT industry knowledge to understand evolving risks within high-growth, technology-driven organizations.
Communicate clearly and effectively, translating technical risk concepts into practical business insights for client stakeholders while contributing to overall delivery quality.
Operate with attention to detail and accountability, managing competing priorities while contributing to high-quality outcomes and continuous improvement.
To qualify for the role you must have:
- A bachelor’s or master’s degree in business, accounting, computer science, engineering, or a related field
- A minimum of 5 years of experience in Digital Risk, IT risk, or technology consulting, with exposure to TMT sector clients
- Hands-on experience in cloud platforms (e.g., AWS), microservices architectures, DevOps/CI/CD, SDLC/PDLC, and distributed systems
- Experience supporting:
- IT general controls (ITGCs) and automated control environments
- Risk assessments, control testing, and control design activities
- Technology risk engagements within cloud-native or distributed environments
- Understanding of how regulatory and control frameworks (e.g., SOX, internal controls) apply within modern engineering environments
- Exposure to data platforms and AI-enabled development environments
- Willingness to travel at least 50%, including client-site travel. Flexibility to work extended hours as needed.
Ideally, you’ll also have:
Relevant certifications such as CPA, CISA, CISSP, CISM; cloud certifications (e.g., AWS) or AI-related certifications are a plus

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Senior Risk Consultant
Verify your degree field matches
USCIS requires your degree to relate directly to risk consulting. A finance, economics, mathematics, or statistics degree strengthens your petition. A general business degree may trigger an RFE if the employer can't show a direct nexus to the role.
Search LCA filings by SOC code
Senior Risk Consultant roles typically file under SOC 13-2099 or 13-2051. Run the OFLC Wage Search filtered to those codes to identify which employers have active certifications in your target metro, then prioritize outreach to those firms.
Target cap-exempt employers first
Universities, nonprofit research organizations, and government-related entities are exempt from the 85,000-cap lottery. Risk and compliance roles exist at these institutions, and a cap-exempt offer means you can start work without waiting for an October 1 start date.
Confirm prevailing wage tier before negotiating
Use Migrate Mate to check the prevailing wage level your prospective employer filed for your role and metro. A Level I wage signals an entry framing that can complicate extension petitions; negotiating to Level II or III strengthens long-term sponsorship stability.
Request premium processing at offer stage
Ask your employer to include premium processing in the offer terms. USCIS guarantees a decision within 15 business days under premium processing, which reduces the risk of starting a new role without an approved petition in hand.
Document credentials to USCIS specialty occupation standard
Gather official transcripts, a credential evaluation for foreign degrees, and a detailed job duties letter from your employer. The letter should tie each core duty to a specific body of theoretical knowledge requiring at least a bachelor's-level education.
H-1B Visa Senior Risk Consultant: Frequently Asked Questions
Do Senior Risk Consultant jobs qualify for H-1B sponsorship?
Yes. Senior Risk Consultant is a specialty occupation under USCIS standards because the role normally requires at least a bachelor's degree in a specific field such as finance, economics, actuarial science, or mathematics. Employers must document that relationship in the Labor Condition Application and I-129 petition. Roles that accept any degree field without a direct nexus to risk work are more likely to face an RFE.
Which industries sponsor H-1B visas for Senior Risk Consultants?
Financial services firms, management consulting companies, insurance carriers, and large banks sponsor this title most frequently. Regulatory compliance functions inside fintech companies and asset managers also file LCAs regularly for risk roles. You can browse employers with active H-1B filing history for Senior Risk Consultant positions on Migrate Mate, filtered by industry and location.
How does the H-1B lottery affect my timeline as a Senior Risk Consultant?
If your employer is a standard cap-subject company, your petition enters the annual lottery with a registration window in March and an October 1 start date if selected. You can work in the U.S. during your current status while waiting, but the lottery is a genuine bottleneck. Cap-exempt employers, including universities and nonprofit research centers with risk or compliance functions, bypass this process entirely.
What prevailing wage level applies to Senior Risk Consultant H-1B filings?
Most Senior Risk Consultant petitions are filed at DOL Level II or Level III, reflecting the mid-to-senior experience and degree requirements for the role. A Level I filing can raise scrutiny from USCIS because it suggests an entry-level position, which is harder to reconcile with the word 'Senior' in the title. Run the OFLC Wage Search for your specific metro and SOC code to confirm the wage floor before you accept an offer.
Can I switch employers on an H-1B while working as a Senior Risk Consultant?
Yes. H-1B portability under AC21 lets you change employers once your petition has been pending for 180 days or more and the new role is in the same or a similar occupational classification. For Senior Risk Consultants, a move between risk, compliance, or financial analysis roles at different firms generally qualifies. Your new employer must file an H-1B transfer petition before your last day at the current job.
