- Supporting and mentoring Assistant Managers, Advisors and junior team members.
- Working collaboratively with colleagues across the wider business to deliver a seamless client service.
- Identifying opportunities to strengthen client relationships and introduce additional advisory services.
- Contributing to the continued growth and success of the Office of the CFO team.
