• Comfortable working to performance targets and KPIs
• Strong organisational and time management skills
• Confident communicator with the ability to provide clear, practical advice
• Commercially aware with strong problem‑solving capability
• A collaborative approach and genuine interest in team success
• An interest in emerging technologies such as AI would be advantageous (but not essential)

Benefits include

• 25 days' annual leave plus bank holidays
• Hybrid working
• Holiday buy and sell scheme
