• A proactive, solutions-focused approach and willingness to get stuck in


• A professional and trustworthy individual who can handle confidential information with discretion


• Demonstrable advanced Excel skills, alongside confidence using systems and the ability to quickly pick up new ones


• Willingness to travel to our London office to support team events and activities when required (fully expensed)


• Previous experience in a similar role would be beneficial, but we're open-minded and willing to consider candidates who can demonstrate the right skills, attitude and potential
