• Support the sales team by improving how customer enquiries are shared across the business, using automation and artificial intelligence.
• Help new starters get set up with their technology, access to company systems, and everything they need to get off to a great start.
• Explore new tools and equipment that could help us work smarter.
• Research what is happening in our industry to help shape future plans.

• You enjoy collaborating with others to find innovative solutions.
• You're able to use AI confidently and selectively, knowing when and how it adds value.
