- Ability and confidence to push back on spend with internal stakeholders and ensure internal processes are followed correctly.
- Excellent communication skills, written and oral, and comfortable working with colleagues at all levels of the business.
- Personable and solid teamworking skills to collaborate closely across the business.
- Self-sufficient and organised to prioritise and manage time effectively to achieve results.
