Take an active role in networking, profile raising and developing Redkite's presence within the Employment Law market.
Work collaboratively with colleagues across the firm and wider Commercial Division to identify opportunities and support wider strategic objectives.
Drive continuous improvement within the team, identifying opportunities to improve performance, service delivery and the commercial offering.
Maintain consistently high standards of client care aligned with Redkite's Client Value Proposition.
