Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Experience managing small or mid-sized retail accounts across European markets would be useful. Familiarity with purchase orders and invoicing, reporting visualisation tools or additional European languages is also welcome. An interest in AR, VR, wearables or emerging technology is a bonus.
This is a broad, fast-moving role, so adaptability and the ability to manage changing priorities are important. Some travel within Europe and occasional later calls with international teams may be required.
