  • Be accurate and have the ability to solve problems;
  • Make fast decisions under pressure;
  • Willingness to travel frequently within Europe;
  • Fluency in English (fluency in French, Italian, German or Spanish is a preference);

What you’ll get

Excellent remuneration, great bonuses, full first-class home-work travel compensation, training opportunities, relocation packages, discounts on health insurance, breakfast and lunch facilities, Friday-afternoon drinks and – yes - even in-house chair massages.
