EFR’s coverage teams are structured as a combination of Line of Business (LOB) and Legal Entity (LE) facing vertical teams, supported by horizontal teams primarily specialising in one of the three EFR core coverage areas.  The experience and the skill set of the successful candidate will determine which vertical or horizontal team the role will be seated within, however the core focus will remain on our key material entities operating out of London.
