In this busy and rewarding role you’ll also:

• An eagerness to have a real positive impact on the firm, products, clients, and importantly your colleagues

You’ll be able to be yourself; we’ll recognise and value you for who you are and celebrate and reward your contributions to the business. We’re committed to agile working, and we offer every colleague the opportunity to work in ways that suit you, your teams, and the task at hand.
