Or want a bit more information before applying? That’s fine. Apply the old fashioned way, or simply reach out to me on LinkedIn or through the Distinct Recruitment website. I will happily talk you through the role, the firm and where it could take you before you make any commitments.I’m Abigail Stephen, Recruiter at Distinct. I don’t just look at job specs. I look at people and where they will thrive. It is not about filling gaps. It is about finding a fit that lasts.Outside of work, balance for me is Pilates to reset, travel to explore and skiing to recharge. Because the truth is, you do not slog through hours for the love of a spreadsheet. You do it for the freedom it buys you. Same principle here.
