• Comfortable interacting cross-departmentally and with staff across multiple office locations and geographies.
• Experience in a tech, professional services, or MSP organisation would be desirable.

How You’ll Grow:

• Exceptional performance in this role can lead to advancement opportunities within our career framework or internal opportunities with other business areas, aligned with your career aspirations and business needs.
