Behaviours

The style we do these things in

The way we do things across the business is with the aim to achieve a certain level in each area of the business. That level is world-class, and the areas in which to achieve these are in our process, our results and our service style.

If you picture a world class process, what does that look and feel like? It looks like collaboration, organisation, efficiency, no stone left unturned, and having the frameworks in place to allow these things to happen.

When you picture world class results, they feel like going above and beyond KPIs, and they feel like finding additional added value in every possible case. How this translates in this role:

• You will be Inquisitive - having the Confidence to question, obtain further context and always seek out the ‘why’, arming yourself with data to support our recommendations.
• Operating with Efficiency and Organisation, understanding the importance of timely delivery for our Clients. Where barriers are presented, you won’t be afraid to raise and challenge these, striving to always improve on our ways of working - both internally and externally with clients.
• Taking on tasks with Enthusiasm and Positivity, even when it’s out of your comfort zone or even responsibility.
• Demonstrate Drive and Ambition to succeed above and beyond. When we set goals for delivery, it doesn’t mean we have to stop there. If there’s an opportunity to deliver beyond expectation, you’ll find it and make it happen.
• You will be hungry to continually Learn, Evolve and Share Knowledge in your field, seeking out Innovation, always striving to deliver the next best thing for our Clients.
• Collaborate well with relevant teams at all times, understanding where our work can support each channel's activity.
