- Strong communication skills — written and verbal — with the confidence to engage business stakeholders at all levels
- Professional working proficiency in English (required); German language skills a genuine advantage
- Proactive, pragmatic and business‑focused approach — you find solutions, not just problems
- Organised, structured and able to prioritise in a fast‑moving environment
- Proficiency in Microsoft Word; Excel and PowerPoint a plus
Nice to have (but not essential):

Why this role?
- Global business with serious brand recognition and real commercial momentum
- High‑speed, high‑trust culture — decisions get made, things get done
