• Work closely with tax, legal, corporate finance, and valuation teams to deliver integrated, high-quality solutions.


• Drive scalable delivery by implementing AI-enabled tools across modelling, documentation, and communications.


• Lead business development across key accounts and industry sectors, identifying cross-service opportunities and building long-term client relationships.


• Develop and mentor team members, build succession pipelines, and foster technical excellence across the equity and reward specialism.


• Contribute to new proposition development in response to evolving market, regulatory, and investor needs.

• Significant experience (typically 8+ years) advising on UK equity incentives, ideally with exposure to both private and listed companies in a Deals environment.
