We’re looking for a highly organised individual, who likes solving problems and building relationships. The ideal candidate will:

• Take initiative  
• Be a talented problem solver

Skills & Responsibilities:

• Looking after our team resourcing and allocation, across all internal teams
• Monitoring project budgets, in relation to time
