- A willingness to learn and grow within a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
- IT proficiency, including experience with CRM systems, PowerPoint, Excel, and Power BI (or a willingness to learn them).
Who you are is as important to us as what you can do. Do these values and behaviours sound like something that would come naturally for you?
- Community: you understand Snappy Shopper goals to help local businesses compete online and our strategy, - work with others to deliver these whilst supporting colleagues.
- Be Snappy: you work quickly to achieve tasks and recover when things go wrong or don’t go as planned.
