  • Delivering against Business Development targets, reporting on progress and risks to the Senior Manager and working with them to identify and implement contingency plans

  • Working with the Delivery and Operations, Legal and Relationship Management teams to ensure all due diligence and legal processes are adhered to, including compliance criteria for CRUK.
