- Sharp Eye for Detail: Exceptional accuracy when handling inventory data, shipping schedules, and compliance paperwork.
- Communication & Teamwork: Strong interpersonal skills with a natural ability to build rapport with clients, suppliers, and internal teams.
- Mobility: A full UK Driving License is required for travel between sites and suppliers.
