Representing MB Century's values and capabilities in client-facing forums and industry events.
About You :

You'll be a confident communicator, commercially savvy, and thrive in a fast-paced, multi-disciplinary environment.
You'll bring exceptional organisational skills and a natural ability to keep things moving whilst keeping key stakeholders engaged.
With strong expertise in sales and procurement operations, you'll offer a deep understanding of commercial strategy and execution.
You'll also bring the following qualifications and skills :
