You will be enthusiastic, driven and self-motivated, with solid commercial acumen, excellent communication, presentation and interpersonal skills. You will be resilient, with a confident and comfortable approach to dealing with multiple stakeholders.

What IS a prerequisite, is your attitude and aptitude in taking a proactive and autonomous approach to your work and the desire to have a tangible impact on the business itself.
