• Strong team player with excellent collaboration skills to work across multiple stakeholders to deliver optimal results.
• Familiarity with various webinar platforms, including Webex, PGI GlobalMeet, and Microsoft Teams.
• Flexible approach to handle fluctuating work volumes and the ability to work under pressure.
• Proactive, resourceful, multitasker with strong organisational, time management, and follow-up skills.
• Proven ability to work independently and take ownership.
