  • A commercial mindset and a true self-starter who thrives on accountability and smashing targets
  • Comfortable working remotely and managing your own schedule
  • Experience creating JBPs, negotiating terms, and delivering against KPIs
  • A team player who works well cross-functionally, but with the confidence to lead from the front
