• Strong network across financial services, legal, private equity or international corporate markets.
• Experience selling complex, multi-service solutions to senior decision makers.
• Commercially astute with the ability to identify opportunities across multiple service lines rather than specialising in a single product.

• Excellent communication, negotiation and presentation skills.
• Experience working within an international corporate services environment would be highly advantageous.
