Confident handling customer queries and problem-solving
Comfortable with Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, Outlook)

Willingness to learn and take on new responsibilities
A relevant degree (Media, Marketing, Communications, Business etc.) is a bonus
Previous customer service experience (e.g. retail, hospitality) is a plus
What You'll Gain
Real-world experience in media, publishing and digital marketing
A broad, hands-on role offering exposure to different areas of the business
Insight into account management and client relationships
Opportunity to grow into a more commercial, client-facing position
A supportive team, lots to learn, and a great career starting point
