• Analyse financial performance, growth drivers, risks and value creation opportunities to support investment decisions, pricing and negotiation strategy.
  
• Support transaction execution, including data room management, coordination with other advisors, and responding to buyer and investor queries.
  
• Work closely with Partners and Directors to deliver commercially robust, technically sound advice.
  
• Provide leadership and mentorship to team members, fostering collaboration to solve complex commercial and financial challenges, while exercising sound judgement on when to take decisive action or escalate
