Working alongside clients across Financial Services, Government & Public Services, or Energy, you will support the delivery of operational and strategic initiatives, helping teams run efficiently, manage change, and improve performance.

This is a hands-on, all-rounder role with exposure to a range of stakeholders and responsibility from day one.

• Supporting the delivery of operational and project-based workstreams across client engagements
  
• Coordinating activities, tracking actions, risks and dependencies, and ensuring deliverables are completed to a high standard
  
• Assisting with business analysis activities including requirements gathering, process mapping, documentation, and reporting
  
• Producing clear presentations, updates, and management information for stakeholders
  
• Working closely with internal and client teams to help solve problems and improve operational performance
  
• Supporting governance, controls, and reporting processes across programmes and operational teams
  
• Managing competing priorities in a fast-paced and collaborative environment
  

What We’re Looking For

Strong Academic Background

• A strong degree and consistently high academic performance
  
• Analytical mindset with strong attention to detail and problem-solving capability
  

Early Career Experience

• Around 2–3 years’ professional experience in areas such as:
  
• Operations
  
• Business Analysis
  
• Project Management
  
• PMO
  
• Consulting
  
• Delivery or transformation support
  

• Experience within Financial Services, Government/Public Sector, Energy, or other regulated environments is beneficial
  

Communication & Stakeholder Skills

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  
• Confidence working with multiple stakeholders and presenting information clearly and professionally
  

Organisation & Ownership

• Highly organised with the ability to manage multiple tasks simultaneously
  
• Proactive, dependable, and comfortable taking ownership with limited supervision
  
• Strong team player who responds well to feedback and enjoys collaborative working
  

Additional Desirable Experience

• Exposure to project delivery methodologies, governance, RAID logs, or risk tracking
  
• Experience using data or MI to monitor operational performance
  
• Experience creating presentations, reports, or process documentation
  

Additional Information

The role may involve occasional travel for client work, sometimes at short notice depending on delivery requirements.

We place strong value on in-person collaboration and learning, so regular time spent in our London office is seen as an important part of the role and development experience.

This position offers excellent exposure, responsibility, and progression potential within a growing team, with possibility of extension depending on performance and business requirement.
