• The ability to peruse, absorb and summarise sometimes complex technical literature

• The ability to realistically plan, execute and manage projects with multiple team members, including those with a variety of other responsibilities
• Excellent presentation skills, including attractive technical content, and with an upbeat and encouraging style

You’ll be enthusiastic, energetic, driven and ambitious. You’ll enjoy engaging with people and collaborating. If you’ve managed people before, there is some scope for this now, and if not but you’d like a path towards management, the potential is there.
