• Working with a team on demanding, fast-paced projects, delivering bespoke technical advice, communicating complex issues effectively, and encouraging coaching within the team.

• Assisting with developing relationships with clients, internal markets, key external intermediaries, and junior team members.

• Supporting business development activities by helping identify and research opportunities with new and existing clients, including proposals and networking events.

This role is for you if you have:
