The role will be based in our London office in the City on a permanent basis with global travel as required. Reporting to the Head of Professional Services. 

The role

You will be responsible for driving alignment and ensuring the overall scope, cost, and business and technical requirements are understood by all, and you’ll foster collaborative working environments to get the best out of your teams.
