• You’re proactive and curious. You enjoy learning, taking initiative and asking questions.
• You’re a team player. You communicate clearly, collaborate well and have a good command of English.

Previous experience in a regulated environment is a plus, but your motivation, attention to detail and willingness to learn are just as important.
