As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
There are many aspects to consider before analyzing the Shari’ah Compliancy of a job profile/description. Kindly inform us of the actual job description you are referring to. For example: Financial Consultant, IT consultant, accountant, internal auditor, etc.
We will only be able to issue a verdict (Fatwaa) once we have received the information in reference.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
