• A solid understanding of the creative process, with the ability to balance multiple projects in a high-volume environment
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage competing deadlines
• Confidence to challenge unclear briefs and ask the right questions to move things forward
• Comfortable working at pace and adapting quickly to changes
• A positive, solutions-focused attitude with excellent communication skills
• Experience with Adobe Creative Suite is a bonus
• Familiarity with project management tools such as Rike is desirable
