  • You’ll have a high level of proficiency in one or more of the many project management tools on the market and in other tools such as excel, slack, keynote, GA etc. Where you have identified a skill gap you are or have engaged in learning to improve in that area.
  • You have an understanding of eCommerce trends and best practice within the industry. You’re also keen to expand this knowledge though both on the job and self-directed learning.
  • Finally, you’ll be comfortable taking accountability for your decisions and actions. We value honesty, integrity, curiosity, collaboration and believe we achieve the best outcomes when working as a team.
