This international consultancy continues to invest heavily in its Northwest business and has secured a growing pipeline of work with nationally recognised retail clients. You ll join a collaborative team where people are trusted to take ownership of projects, supported in their professional development and given exposure to major retail investment programmes. Hybrid working, a modern Manchester office of 50 people, and a strong people-first culture combine with a clear pathway for career progression.
