Strong candidates will have a professional services background in a similar role, be educated to a degree level and, ideally, partly or fully CGI qualified, possess a good knowledge of the Companies Acts and relevant statutes and have experience in using Diligent Entities (formerly known as Blueprint).

Coming up with a strict set of rules that work for every team and individual in a business as diverse as ours isn’t possible. Instead, we have BRighter Working, a framework to find ways of working that give us individually and collectively a great experience, while continuing to provide the highest quality service to our clients when and where they need us. This is inclusive of:
- Hybrid working– where teams are working together in multiple locations i.e. a BR office, a client site, their home or somewhere else
- Synchronous/Asynchronous working– using the office or technology to work together at the same time / using technology and different ways of working to work at different times to colleagues.
- Smarter working– finding simpler, more efficient ways of delivering services to clients and working together as a BR team. These can be tech-enabled but may also be simple changes to our processes
- Flexible working– a temporary or permanent change to someone’s terms and conditions which fixes a working pattern different to the standard contract
