You will be a self-starter who can take a pragmatic approach with any new initiatives, an effective problem solver with strong commercial acumen. You will be intuitive and be motivated to act upon this; comfortable with setting and testing insight hypothesis, subsequently collecting appropriate data before interrogating and visualising it.
