  • Following, not essential, but must be willing to get involved with business development and make the most of your contacts
  • Partner or a Managing or Senior Associate looking for that next step up
What’s in it for you
  • Collaborative team environment where cross-selling is encouraged
  • Hybrid role with no set office days
  • High-quality work
  • Transparent career structure Contact
