• Clear, merit-based promotion path—we’ve promoted grads to senior positions in as little as 12 months; this is a place where talent rises fast and there’s no cap on your progression.

What We’re Looking For:

We're not hiring for a background (although if you have a high-level sports background that's a plus!)—we’re hiring for attitude, ambition, and potential. You’ll thrive at Harris & Co if you have:

• Commercial awareness and the ability to see the bigger picture
• Resilience – you bounce back stronger from setbacks
• Drive and hunger to exceed targets and achieve more
• Emotional intelligence – you’re a great listener and communicator
• Creative thinking and a problem-solving mindset

The Package:

• Base salary starting from £26,000
• Commission of up to 60% on fees
• Bonus scheme and loyalty bonuses
• Full-time, permanent role with immediate and summer/September starts available
• Private medical insurance
