• Assist in office relocation through smooth delivery based on the agreed time, cost and quality criteria with an overall plan and artefacts as defined by our delivery way.

A bit about you:

Here's a little bit about what we think you'll need to be successful and happy in this role:

• Considerable customer service or front of house experience, ideally gained within hospitality, a tech start-up, or another people-oriented environment
• Super strong people skills, with the ability to adapt your style and manner to suit a range of different audiences
• Strong team working and collaborations skills, born out of your exceptional communication skills and focus on delivering the best experience for others
