If there is a large strategic project taking place in the sector, the chances are we will be advising on it.

• The work will include a combination of report drafting, economic analysis, and engaging with clients. 
• You will need to be comfortable managing, coaching, and mentoring junior staff across a number of projects. 
• You will contribute towards building the team, identifying opportunities in the market, and providing thought leadership.
