– Prepare, collate and quality‑check documents, reports and project materials

– Anticipate needs and proactively remove operational obstacles for Partners and clients

– Build strong relationships across the consultancy and with external stakeholders

– Support operational processes, ensuring accuracy, organisation and efficiency

Candidate Requirements

– Background in Private Equity, corporate financial services, consulting, or a similarly demanding professional environment

– Experience supporting senior leaders in a client‑facing capacity

– Ability to operate with pace, resilience and composure under pressure

– Strong communication skills with a polished, professional approach

– Excellent organisational skills and high attention to detail

– Confident managing shifting priorities in a high‑performance culture

– Proactive, resourceful and comfortable taking ownership

What’s on Offer

– A dynamic consultancy environment with exposure to high‑profile clients
