• Confidence working in a small team environment and engaging with customers regularly
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills
• A proactive attitude with a willingness to try new approaches and suggest improvements
• Flexibility in working hours
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Good self-management skills, with the ability to work independently and within a team

It would be a bonus if you had:
