About you

You’ll be confident working with systems and data, with excellent attention to detail, particularly when handling numbers, rates, and financial information. Strong IT skills, especially in Excel, are essential.

You’ll thrive in this role if you’re organised, proactive, and able to manage multiple priorities in a fast‑moving environment. You’ll be a strong communicator, comfortable liaising with customers, suppliers, and internal teams, and have a natural ability to investigate and resolve issues. A positive attitude, reliability, and a strong sense of ownership will set you up for success.

We think the strongest teams are built on diversity and inclusivity. Contrasting opinions, varied skills and strong characters bring out the best in us all. And we cannot wait for you to join.
