  • A strong commercial acumen with the ability to apply this to developing, implementing and measuring progress against objectives.

  • Experience managing and coaching junior team members including managing their workload and providing constructive and timely feedback.

  • Strong time management skills and an ability to work efficiently with little supervision and with a high degree of self-motivation
