- Coordinate across teams and external partners, keeping decisions, responsibilities and deadlines clear.
What we’re looking for

- Strong judgement, discretion, attention to detail and clear, concise communication.
- Initiative, resourcefulness and the willingness to handle practical details yourself.
- Confidence working independently, managing competing priorities and following through without repeated direction.
- Availability to work full-time on site in London, with flexibility to travel.
