• A genuinely proactive approach in seeking new opportunities, you don't wait for them to land!
• Exceptional organisational skills and the ability to juggle a busy and varied diary.
• Strong communication skills, written and verbal, with a natural ability to build rapport quickly.
• Willingness to travel within the UK regularly as this is a role that lives on the road as much as in the inbox.
• Flexibility to work some evenings and weekends for fam trips, hospitality, and industry events.
• Your own car, with business mileage reimbursed at the current rate.
