**About you**

To be successful in this role you will thrive working in a fast paced, dynamic environment supporting multiple stakeholders. You will always be a step ahead ready to deploy your contingency plan should it be needed. As a natural communicator you will quickly develop rapport with your team and give them the confidence that you will deliver and meet deadlines.

- Strong communication skills to communicate with a cross section of employees and suppliers.
- Excellent planning and organisational skills, including the ability to prioritise tasks and meet deadlines.
- Demonstrated experience to deal with confidential information professionally and discreetly.
- Strong initiative and problem-solving skills to be able to work autonomously.
