• Support the presentation of conclusions and recommendations to the client and discuss the implications and action points.
• Motivate and coach the team, taking a proactive interest in performance and wellbeing with regular feedback.
• Consult effectively with specialists within the team and wider firm when faced with complex risk management.
• Have the opportunity to support with business development.
