• Strong interest and skill in writing, analysing, interpreting, and effectively communicating information
• Interest in the external environment factor and its impact to business
• Curiosity, self-motivation and courage in suggesting new ideas and ways forward

• High learning agility, resilience coupled with an ambition to learn, accept new challenges and openness to feedback to support your development
• Ability to focus and resourcefulness to deliver the most impactful results
  

What do we offer you?
