  • Flexible & responsive communication style across all mediums (written, visual & verbal)
  • A working style that thrives on being independent, managing own time whilst being able to contribute ideas & make improvements
  • Well organised with excellent attention to detail
  • Is both a team player & self-sufficient working with initiative
