Jake Kelly

Principal Consultant - Compliance & LegalSpecialising in Compliance, Legal

I initially joined MERJE back in 2017 after I graduated in Business Management from Leeds Metropolitan University. In my first four years in the business, I dabbled in Compliance, Risk, Financial Crime and Fraud recruitment as I progressed from Resourcer to Consultant.

After a brief spell in the cyber-security world, I returned to our crew to refocus on my career and continue my record of progression and success with MERJE. I now specialise in Compliance and Legal recruitment as part of our London team.

Why MERJE?

​MERJE's senior leadership team have created a great environment that gives you the freedom to work how you want and to be successful doing it!

Loves & Loathes

I love football, socializing and chocolate.

Iloathe the 24/7 London traffic!
