- Experience with processes improvement and taking ownership of these including creating new ones should the need arise

- Clear communication skills, whether you’re writing a policy update, interpreting HR data, or chatting through a flexible working request
- A caring but professional demeanour with the ability to earn people’s trust and handle sensitive situations
- Strong organisation and prioritisation skills. You’ll be working on a lot of different things at any one time and it’s important you know what to prioritise and when
- Experience in a fast-paced, commercial environment such as tech or agency would be a real plus
