• You are passionate about developing others and always looking to incorporate new ideas and technology to ensure your learning solutions are current, effective and engaging
• You will be organised with the ability to manage multiple projects and priorities to challenging deadlines
• You will have a strong commercial focus and it would be advantageous if you had previously held a management role in a retail or customer service environment
