• Data-driven mindset with the ability to translate insights into action.

• Strong written and spoken English skills – able to communicate clearly and professionally.
• Strong bias to action - you have a 'can do' attitude and are quick to take action to test things or solve problems rather than overthinking or overcomplicating things
