• Experience using CRM systems, ideally HubSpot.
• Excellent stakeholder management skills and the ability to work effectively across multiple departments and external partners.
• A positive, resilient and solutions-focused approach.

What Success Looks Like

In this role, you'll make a real impact by:

• Improving response and resolution times.
