• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail 
• The ability to work with internal and external partners 
• Experience using PowerPoint, design templates or basic creative skills

• A pension with up to 10% employer contributions
• Private healthcare 
• Access to a subsidised onsite gym (at our Manchester HQ)
