-   Recognise and escalate project risks and budget overruns in a timely manner, offering practical solutions and work arounds.

**Leadership**

-   Lead and motivate small engagement teams, setting clear direction and maintaining high standards.
-   Coach and support more junior colleagues through active engagement leadership, technical guidance and constructive feedback.
-   Review the work of team members to ensure analytical rigour, consistency and high-quality outputs.
-   Contribute to a collaborative and inclusive culture that encourages high performance, professional development and knowledge sharing.

**Strategy and Market Development**

-   Support business development initiatives and programmes, helping to convert leads through well-developed proposals.
-   Build and maintain relationships with clients through the consistent delivery of high-quality work.

-   Help identify client needs, regulatory developments and market trends that may create opportunities for the business.
-   Represent the firm at client meetings and industry events, supporting its visibility and reputation in the UK market.
