To succeed in the role you must be a warm, outgoing individual with high EQ who naturally builds close relationships with others. You will need to be highly organised and skilled at taking actions in fast-paced meetings and be comfortable ensuring pre-work is completed and subsequent actions are progressed.

The ability to empathise, build relationships, and be considerate of others internally and externally is key.
