A hands-on leader who leads from the front and sets the tone
Highly organised with the ability to manage multiple priorities
Commercial awareness with experience managing targets, budgets or KPIs
Energetic, engaging and naturally people-focusedWhat's In It For You?

£38,000 salary (pro rata for 8-month contract - approx. £25,300)
