  • Adept at generating insight deliverables – from email summaries to contributing to full reports
  • Excellent attention to detail, and verbal and written communication skills – preparing engaging, authoritative and insightful presentations and reports
  • A real team player – interested in working with others to do great things and eager to learn from others in the team and support junior staff in their development journey
