Job Description
We’re hiring at AshdownJones!
As a ‘deputy happiness officer’, you will have experience of putting clients’ happiness at the forefront of everything you do.
You’ll be cool as a cucumber in a crisis, but passionate and enthusiastic about client wins and successes. You’re someone who is embarrassingly organised and loves a completed to-do list. Able to read minds and often will have done something before anyone’s noticed it was needed.
You need to be someone who loves talking to people and must be a ninja listener. With a muck-in, can-do, get-it-done mentality. You’re fun to be around and make a great cup of tea!
