• Excellent organisational, coordination and communication skills, with strong attention to accuracy and detail.
• Ability to work independently, use initiative and take responsibility within defined limits, while also contributing as a team player.

• Ability to remain composed and effective under pressure, manage changing priorities and meet tight deadlines.
• High standards of discretion, integrity and ethical conduct.
• Excellent knowledge of Microsoft Office.
• Project management experience, including coordinating events for up to 100 people.
