- Excellent communication, empathy, and interpersonal skills, with the ability to handle feedback and resolve conflicts constructively.
- Strong organizational and problem‑solving abilities, capable of managing multiple projects simultaneously.
- Fluent English (C2 level) — both written and spoken.
- Basic understanding of digital marketing and online advertising principles (Google Ads, Search, Display, etc.) is an advantage, but strong leadership and people management skills are the key.
- Proficiency in Excel and a general familiarity with digital tools and platforms (HTML, CSS, JavaScript knowledge is a plus but not required).
