  • Excellent interpersonal skills, with the ability to connect and collaborate with colleagues and clients at all levels.

Although not a mandatory requirement, we welcome interest from applicants who are capable of working in another European language.

Successful candidates will benefit from:
  • A supportive and sociable team-based working environment.
  • A wide variety of interesting work for a broad range of clients.
  • An excellent remuneration and benefits package.
  • A range of sports, clubs and charity initiatives sponsored by the firm.
