- Play a key role in identifying new opportunities and converting them into client engagements.
- Represent the firm at marketing and networking events; champion our full range of services.
- Contribute to recruitment, training, and staff development within the Corporate Finance team.
- Mentor and coach junior team members, helping them progress toward their career goals.
