• A sharp eye for detail and strong admin skills (Excel is your second language)
• Laser focus on quality, timelines, and collaboration
• Proactive mindset with the confidence to flag issues and drive solutions

This is your chance to play a pivotal role in shaping the products of tomorrow — from concept to launch, and everything in between.
