About the role

  • We have experienced exceptional growth and success since our inception in 2019.
  • Our clients are sophisticated, high-calibre investment funds and asset managers. They expect a premium service – and we deliver. We have a proven track record in this, often winning new clients through referrals.

  • COMPETENCIES: comfortable with a fast-paced, changing and dynamic environment with the ability to work effectively independently and as part of a team; efficient; committed to delivering a quality service; excellent verbal and written communication skills; strong grasp of relevant legal concepts with a commercial and pragmatic outlook.
  • EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES: At Avantia, we are committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse workplace and we value equal opportunities for all.
