Who we are
Grant Thornton’s Agile Talent Community is a network of contract professionals, giving you the opportunity to work with our clients alongside Grant Thornton teams on a project-by-project basis whilst being supported by our dedicated Agile Talent team.
Joining us in Corporate Finance Advisory
As a Technical Consultant you will be working closely with our Equity Capital Markets team within Corporate Finance providing industry expertise to support the team’s service delivery. You will be assisting in the management of retained clients, as well as working on the evaluation of potential transactions such as IPO opportunities.

Once a role is completed, you will have the freedom to continue working with us on projects that you can choose, whether full or part-time within Enterprise applications and support our clients and internal teams on short to medium-term assignments
