How you’ll do it

• You thrive on competition: pushing yourself and helping the team improve is part of your DNA.
• You’re a powerhouse of energy: your enthusiasm is contagious.
• You work smart, not hard: you automate low-value tasks so you can focus on what truly matters.
• You’re proactive: you test, adapt, and innovate. You don’t wait for instructions to move forward.
• You go above and beyond. You’re not satisfied with hitting targets: you look for ways to raise the bar, improve processes, and create opportunities where others see obstacles.
• You bring solutions, not just problems. When something isn’t working, you think critically, suggest alternatives, and take ownership of finding a better way forward.
• You know how to upward manage effectively. You communicate with clarity, provide the right level of context, and help your manager and wider team stay focused, informed, and aligned.
• You make decisions using logic and reasoning. You’re comfortable explaining your thinking, challenging assumptions, and using data, insight, and common sense to guide your actions.
• You want your voice to be heard. We’re a highly agile team where ideas are welcomed regardless of title, and where your feedback can directly influence our strategy, processes, and growth.
• You thrive in an environment of change and opportunity. As AssessFirst continues its ambitious international expansion, you’ll play a key role in shaping our success across the UK and US markets.
• You take ownership. You don’t just generate meetings - you think like a business builder, contributing to the development of our market presence, community, and long-term growth.
• You’ll be happy to travel across the UK and US to attend events.
