The Person

The successful candidate will possess a BA (Hons) (2.1 minimum) in Marketing / Business Studies / Supply Chain Management or related disciplines. MA, MSc or MBA is desirable. The person will be a central part of a strategic marketing project. This project requires someone with project management experience ideally in marketing and/or sales to ensure that the project will run as planned and that written reports are produced on time.

Since large amounts of qualitative and quantitative data will be collected and analysed it is vital that the candidate is able to deal with the complexity of these tasks preferably with some similar experiences. Knowledge and experience with a statistical software programme such as SPSS would be helpful for the candidate to possess.         

The candidate needs to be a motivated self-starter and be able to interact with enthusiasm and effectively with people at all levels.

Although the successful candidate will have the support of a company supervisor and an academic supervisor, a degree of confidence to develop ideas outside his or her normal knowledge base is important.
