• Programme management: plan and run client engagements and transactions from start to finish – workplans, timelines, deliverables and action trackers, meeting agendas and follow-ups – coordinating internal experts and external parties such as legal counsel and third-party providers.
• Client engagement support: act as a day-to-day point of contact for client teams, prepare senior colleagues for meetings, and keep clients informed of progress, next steps and decisions needed.
