No other job posts for this day.

Dubai / In House .. Corporate Partner / Senior Level: this global business operates seamlessly across ME and, frankly global borders and, with some of the best clients already in its 'back pocket', this stellar co' is keeping abreast of the increased business activity across national borders, by winning cases and increasing its foothold in an already stacked market.  As a partner based in the U.K (London or the US) or overseas, your business acumen, experience and, specifically, ability to lead, in this area is thus pegged as the number one 'go-get' for this company.  Additionally, you will be at the forefront of the increased volume of corporate work that this section of the market will bring, fielding all of the client relationships from Day 1.  This business is busy and wants to be busier and wants its leader 'out in front' of the business development side; a bit more gravitas is needed at the top end, rather than the usual endless 'beating the streets'.
