* You have strong written communication skills and the ability to write documents which are compelling, engaging and unambiguous

Additionally, you will display the following characteristics;
* A natural leader and communicator, who can confidently engage senior client stakeholders
* A passion for developing technically, professionally and behaviourally
* A collaborative team-player who delivers great results and operates to high behavioural standards and business ethics.



You will be in a trusted, supported position, primarily client based, where you are able to apply both existing skills and develop new skills in complex and challenging situations.
