    • Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
    • Confidence delivering training, presentations and engaging with groups.
    • Strong organisational and time management skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities.
    • A proactive, solutions-focused mindset with the confidence to take initiative and ownership.
    • Experience supporting technology, coordinating projects or implementing new systems and processes.
    • An interest in emerging technology and AI, and how these can improve business efficiency.
    • A collaborative, adaptable and team-first attitude.
    • A genuine passion for helping others learn, grow and achieve success.
    Previous experience within real estate, franchising or with MRI Vault would be an advantage. An awareness of emerging AI tools and opportunities, and the ability to identify responsible ways to use these to improve operational efficiency, training and support across the network, would also be beneficial. However, we are open to candidates with transferable skills and experience.
