What we are looking for

We are looking for someone who is experienced enough to bring rigor and improve how we operate but also someone who is adaptable, willing and capable of going with the flow and reacting positively as the day or task evolves.

We are looking for some one with exceptional organisational skills who won’t melt due to bad filing but that can follow and implement systems where they are needed.

The ideal candidate needs to have a willingness and confidence to jump in with both feet and the experience to step back when it’s required.

The candidate needs to be able to follow instructions and not be afraid to get clarification. The candidate needs to be able to work autonomously and have a keen eye for identifying where they can add value and use their initiative.

Experience in using our Saas platforms is not essential, but a willingness to learn and get up-to-speed quickly is fundamental.

Experience in preparing and pricing quotes/proposals would be advantageous.

InDesign skills would be AMAZING but a creative eye and a willingness to be trained is just as valuable.
