- Background in a city centre firm or high-calibre boutique (Desired)
- Strong BD mindset
- Adaptable, collaborative, and committed to being part of a team all pulling in the same direction
What you’ll be doing
- Deliver expert technical advice across a varied caseload
- Support partners with delegated work while growing your own client base
- Develop and evolve your role, shaping your caseload around your strengths and interests
- Contribute to the growth of the team and wider firm through business development
- Build partnerships with external referrers such as financial advisers and accountants
- 2–3 days in the office (flex depending on experience and business needs)
Salary & Benefits

- Genuine progression pathway with no caps on promotion
- Enhanced sick pay and parental leave policies (based on length of service)
