  • Broader experience in commercial and/or regulatory matters (e.g., consumer protection investigations) or a willingness to develop multi-skills.
  • Experience working with clients in sectors such as retail & consumer goods, financial services, digital, future energy, leisure, real estate, and government would be beneficial.
  • Forward-thinking with excellent analytical, communication, and organisational skills.
  • Self-motivated with the ability to manage workloads and meet deadlines.
  • Commercially aware with exposure to business development and the ability to build and maintain strong client relationships.
