The great thing about working with the FIG is that you are the client’s touch point to the firm. During the course of any project there is continuous interaction with Product, Credit, Legal, Technology and Operations. Plus as my current role as the head of the Business Management there is an ongoing interaction with FINCON, Marketing, CRM and HR.

I have found over the course of the last year that senior management is extremely conscious of your career development.

Having spent the summer with the FI Coverage Organisation, it was a relatively easy decision to make when offered the full time role. My first consideration was the people I worked with – driven and focused while enjoying the process day in and day out. The summer period was also instrumental in giving me a good idea of the GTS organisation and the various opportunities within it. And finally, I enjoyed my time in London, which made the return even more exciting.
