• A striver: Exhibiting ownership, consistently delivering on tasks and objectives. You’ll be motivated and proactive in your tasks, having the desire to make a real difference.
• A multi-tasker: Thinking about more than one task at a time, while still having an eye for detail.
• A problem-solver: You’ll love to give your thoughts based on what you see, being unafraid to challenge conventional thinking.

Please note, we ask our graduates to come into the office 4 days per week to ensure that you receive sufficient time with your team and receive the appropriate level of support.
