- Strong problem-solving and decision-making skills.
- Confidence communicating and negotiating with clients, suppliers and workshops.
- The ability to remain calm under pressure and keep production moving against tight deadlines.
- A warm, personable manner and confidence dealing directly with clients in a luxury retail environment.
