- Ability to prepare proposals for new work, including researching target client companies and on technical issues to identify new solutions, as well as supporting partners in meetings.
- Experience of managing people.
- Ability to actively seek opportunities for selling new services to existing clients
- CTA and/or ACA qualified or equivalent
You'll also be able to be yourself; we'll recognise and value you for who you are and celebrate and reward your contributions to the business. We're committed to agile working, and we offer everyone the opportunity to work in ways that suit them, their teams, and the task in hand.
