• Sharp attention to detail with the ability to work confidently with complex project information

• Strong PowerPoint skills and the ability to create professional, deadline-driven presentations
• Proactive, hands-on mindset - calm, organised and adaptable in a fast-changing environment

Advantageous, but not essential

• Experience with Microsoft Power Platform (Power Automate, Power Apps, Power BI)
• Familiarity with AI tools such as ChatGPT or Microsoft Copilot
• Understanding of lean or continuous improvement methodologies

What we value most is someone who continuously demonstrates courage, thrives on creating impact and seeks to build trusting, collaborative relationships. So, even if you think you do not yet display all of the skills listed above we would still like to hear from you.

Furthermore, we welcome applications from individuals who may not be able to commit to full-time roles. At RWEST, finding the right person for the job is our top priority, and we are willing to explore flexible arrangements.
