This is a hybrid role where we’re flexible on your location. You’ll mainly work from home, with occasional visits to your local office or our other UK offices to collaborate with your team.

• Solving complex problems using functional knowledge and existing methodologies
• Acting as an expert within your own function, leveraging specialised subject matter expertise
• Leading teams or projects, serving as a best practice and quality resource
