To be successful you will need to have natural confidence, possess exceptional interpersonal and communication skills, be highly organised, methodical and process driven and have great attention to detail. You will possess strong influencing and negotiating skills, be commercially aware and highly analytical with the ability to listen. What will set you apart is your energy, desire to deliver results and seeing this as a chance to make a real positive impact in the business. For those that do, genuine career opportunities are available to into senior commercial or operational related roles.
