You will have a key supporting role contributing towards the success of the Commercial team and its activities in the French market.
You will be participating in multiple projects, building trustworthy relationships with our partners and liaising closely with the French Communications and Fisheries teams, as well as other MSC teams across our global network.
We’re looking for someone:
