- Support business development efforts with a focus on public affairs and strategic communications, including the development of proposals, pitches, and client strategies.
- Represent the New Delhi office in marketing and promotional activities across India and the broader Asia region.
- Lead the creation of compelling, high-quality written materials for business development and client engagement purposes.
- Mentor and develop junior team members, fostering a culture of learning, excellence, and collaboration.

Those who proactively seek challenging assignments, deliver outstanding client service, and take initiative in building the business will find themselves on an accelerated growth trajectory. High-performance behaviour - including new business prospecting, trusted advisory relationships with senior clients, and fostering team cohesion — are actively tracked and recognised as indicators of leadership potential.
