* Maintain accurate data records, updating allocation spreadsheets and time recording

What you'll bring:

* Strong multi-tasking and prioritisation skills in a fast-moving environment

* Confident communication with internal and external stakeholders at all levels

* A collaborative approach-able to work effectively within the team and across wider GLD colleagues

* Excellent attention to detail, especially when dealing with payments and records

* A calm, proactive mindset-happy to resolve queries quickly and keep work flowing
