What You Need To Do The Role

The ideal person will have excellent interpersonal skills, confidently engaging in challenging discussions with colleagues and the broader business.
They will demonstrate exceptional analytical abilities, proficient in extracting key insights from extensive datasets, and possess a keen attention to detail, ensuring accurate and timely delivery of tasks. The ability to summarise and communicate key issues from high volumes of data is crucial, alongside effective time management across various tasks and projects.
