- Ensure client success under pressure – maintain a client-service focus in fast moving, high-stakes matters, including flexibility to meet critical deadlines outside of standard hours when required

How You’ll Grow
Success in this role will open up a clear pathway for professional and personal growth. As you demonstrate capability and impact, you’ll have opportunities to:

- Take on greater leadership responsibilities by expanding your role in guiding teams, mentoring junior colleagues and shaping the strategic direction of the practice.
- Broaden your technical expertise skills in digital forensics while expanding into other areas along the EDRM spectrum, including data processing, consultancy and information governance.
