• Experience managing complex schedules and prioritising tasks effectively.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, capable of liaising politely yet effectively with a variety of people.
• Excellent stakeholder management skills.
• Comfortable receiving and acting on instructions from senior and junior staff in a fast-paced environment.
