• The company is willing to invest in additional software where there is a demonstrated business need. Candidates should therefore be technologically curious and comfortable learning new tools quickly.
• Access to company accounts, LinkedIn profiles, AI platforms, and other required systems will be provided where appropriate.

Working Style

• Take full ownership of their area of responsibility.
• Bring ideas and recommendations rather than simply asking what to do next.

• Be comfortable with autonomy and accountability.
• Take initiative while remaining aligned with the company's strategic and creative direction.
• Communicate regularly with the team and share progress, insights, and results.
