The Role

Working alongside experienced Executive Search professionals, the successful candidate will receive extensive training and gain exposure to the complete search process.

Responsibilities will include:

• Researching and mapping financial services markets

For the right individual, there is a clear opportunity to progress within the business as they develop their expertise and demonstrate strong performance.

The Ideal Candidate

This role would suit someone who is competitive, ambitious and motivated by a career where performance is rewarded.

A degree is preferred, but our client is ultimately more interested in attitude, communication skills, commercial drive and potential than simply academic background.
