  • Organising work and resources to meet deadlines.
  • Using initiative to step in where necessary. Using judgement to manage and deploy available resources to best effect.
  • Strong time-management skills and the ability to develop this within others. An ability to prioritise across several projects and varied levels of activities.
  • Creating a vibrant, engaging culture for the team.
  • An interest in APL Media: a genuine interest in what we do, and caring about the success of our brands and the people who work here.
