Experience of working in and / or with large, complex organisations.

 

Knowledge and skills:-

You will be helping to manage projects so you’ll need a good practical head for business and the ability to spot new commercial opportunities

Strategic thinking – it is the quality of our client’s strategic response which perhaps more than anything creates value for their clients, in turn this is founded on the forensic research and investigation. So a Senior Associate needs to be both analytical and creative – as well as inquisitive, well-informed and genuinely fascinated by each new client challenge. You’ll love the intellectual challenge of finding the right solution, to challenge accepted ways of doing things, and not afraid to defend new ideas if it’s right for the client.

Client management – your role will be client facing, you’ll need to be articulate and astute, empathetic and intuitive. Used to working with senior people, you’ll need to be adaptable and resilient, persuasive and a true problem solver.
