You will also be:
A systems expert - you must be comfortable with multiple systems including Excel and be happy dealing with multiple data sets across multiple departments as well as the associated reporting.

Hard-working - you are an individual who is excited by innovation and creativity as well as having a commercial awareness and business acumen.
Someone who ideally has experience of working with ERP / MRP / Finance & Reporting systems such as SAP / Sage / Dynamics & Power BI or similar.
