  • Excellent communication skills (both written and verbal).
  • Proven analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Excellent organizational skills, self-motivated and detail oriented.
  • Ability to supervise and manage multidisciplinary staff, and to build a culture focused on delivering exceptional visitor experience.
