- Methodical, and well-organised approach to work, with the ability to prioritise and multitask
- Calm and focused under pressure, with patience and professionalism
- A problem solver that operates with a “can-do” attitude
- It’s a bonus if you have experience working in an entrepreneurial environment or start-up
