consultancy

sector
- Supporting a major UK private equity house on a portfolio sale subject to

Culture is centred on long-term careers, flexibility, and quality work without a rigid hierarchy
Benefits Include:
- £100k+ salary (Director level)
- Bonus up to 35%

- 25+ days holiday (plus buy/sell up to 5 days)
