• Understands the principle of "speculate to accumulate"
• Uses data to support decisions rather than relying on opinion
• Sees opportunities where others see obstacles
• Enjoys improving processes and challenging the status quo

What's on Offer

• Salary between £35,000 - £50,000 depending on experience
• Opportunity to join a high‑growth business
• Exposure to senior leadership and strategic decision making
• A varied and commercially focused role
