You’ll keep on top of project-related admin and communications and will become a highly visible and important member of our small team. You need to have significant client-facing experience.
You’ll primarily be working from home – but there will be occasions where you’ll need to travel. We frequently spend time on our clients’ premises in the UK (London, Cardiff, Glasgow, Edinburgh).

- Commercially aware
- Enthusiastic and positive
- Someone who can identify opportunities for Wordtree and for our clients

- Managing clients confidently
- Understanding of our clients’ corporate environments
