  ·Good computer literacy, particularly Excel and Office

  ·Smart and professional appearance and attitude

  ·Confidently able to communicate and liaise with different levels of personnel, and build a rapport with other teams

  ·Ability to work under pressure to tight deadlines and offer some working flexibility on occasion
