Confidence communicating with people at all levels

Willingness to learn and take feedback onboard
-
Energy, motivation and strong attention to detail

A proactive attitude – someone who’s excited to pick up the phone and make things happen

A real interest in building long-term business relationships
-
A calm, professional manner under pressure
-
The ability to listen well, ask smart questions, and understand what clients need
-
Being naturally organised and driven to do your best work
Why will I love it here?

There’s also real progression available – if you’re hitting targets and thriving, you’ll have opportunities to grow into more senior roles.
