- Supporting group or subsidiaries on specific projects such as international roll-out plans, communication with regulators, insurance coverage, or contract negotiations.
- Establishing and overseeing processes together with the Head of Sustainability for the group’s suppliers to comply with Aonic’s internal compliance standards.

You should have:

- Hands-on attitude, pro-active drive, and sense of ownership.
- Commercially focused mindset and getting-things-done approach.
- Excellent analytical thinking and good communication skills.
