• The ability to devise a well-informed strategy for GFI Europe’s comms work, in terms of audience mapping, channels, messaging. 

• Excellent people-skills: the ability to influence, network, build alliances and work well in a team.

• A can-do approach: a self-starter with the drive and initiative to take responsibility for delivering communications impact.
