• Collaborate across the Clients team and practice groups to deliver high-quality client and marketing activity
• Identify and implement practical process improvements to increase efficiency and stakeholder value
• Share insights and best practice and contribute to firm-wide growth initiatives

• Clear written and verbal communication skills and the ability to prepare professional documents, presentations and client materials
• Good research and analytical skills, with the ability to gather information, identify relevant insights and communicate them clearly
• A collaborative and proactive approach, working effectively across the Clients team, practice groups and broader Business Services teams
