  • Speaking any other language would be very positive
  • You must be totally at ease with IT tools generally, already a highly proficient MS Office suite user and open to learn how to use other industry-specific tools
  • You must be very precise and accurate – demonstrate a high level of attention to detail and enjoy work that requires this of you
  • You must be able to organise, process & consolidate large quantities of information in diverse formats, maintaining accurate and up to date files and reports, both using Microsoft office tools as well as some specific programme and abstract management tools (training would be provided)
