  • Undergraduate degree or equivalent combination of training and experience.
  • Strong organisational, communication, and analytical skills.
  • Ability to collaborate effectively in a fast‑paced, team‑oriented environment.

Preferred:

  • Proven experience in a sales support, client service, or operations role.
  • Experience working with CRM systems or client databases.
  • Comfort analysing data and producing meaningful insights.
Why Join Us?
  • Be part of a knowledgeable, supportive, and high‑performing sales team.
  • Work in a hybrid model that supports flexibility and balance.
  • Gain exposure to senior stakeholders, client relationship management, and sales strategy.
  • Build valuable experience that opens doors to future opportunities across the business.
