  • Strong commercial awareness with the ability to manage multiple deadlines

  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills

  • High attention to detail and a proactive, customer-focused approach

  • Familiarity with CRM systems (Salesforce experience would be beneficial)

What we offer you

  • A company-wide bonus scheme

  • 33 days annual leave.

  • Defined pension contributions.
