- Commercial Knowledge: A strong understanding of the economics of food delivery and the ability to work effectively towards demanding monthly targets.
- Exceptional Communication: Confidence in building relationships face-to-face, over the phone, and via email with a wide range of stakeholders.
- Operational Ownership: A tenacious, self-motivated approach to managing your own territory and taking full ownership of your results.
- Mobility: A valid driving licence and access to a car are required, as you will be frequently travelling across Bristol and the surrounding areas.
