• Excellent written and oral communication skills
• Team player with the ability to work both independently and collaboratively
• University degree or equivalent experience
• Ability to work outside of the office (attending client sites, events, etc.) 
• Ability to work flexible working hours and be responsive, given the nature of being in a client-facing role
