- Assisting with month-end reporting and identifying opportunities to improve processes.
This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys variety, takes ownership of their work and likes seeing an order through from start to finish.

- Experience in operations, order processing or customer service, ideally within packaging, manufacturing or another business-to-business environment.
- Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities.
- Excellent attention to detail when processing orders, checking information and maintaining records.
- Clear, professional communication skills and a helpful, customer-focused approach.

- A practical approach to solving problems, with the judgement to escalate issues when needed.
