You’ll have plenty of support from the whole team and lots of opportunities to develop your own particular skills and interests. By necessity, we’re a fluid team, which means you’ll get exposure to all elements of the running of our technology, engineering, science and innovation clients.

You should be an excellent writer, with a good command of language, grammar and punctuation. A solid proof-reader and able to produce flawless and engaging copy for clients.
