  • Review client engagement terms, codes of conduct and KYC advice
  • Advise on secondment terms for new and existing secondments
  • Assist in the prompt delivery of client pitches and questionnaires


This position is perfect for a well-organised, confident communicator with excellent analytical and interpersonal skills. Someone adept at problem-solving and possessing a proactive approach to resolving problems will excel in this role.


If this sounds like you, please submit your CV to be considered for this opportunity. Thank you.
