You have the writing, design and digital nous to deliver impactful communications projects that stay true to the EDV voice. You understand digital trends and can capitalise on that to grow the EDV brand. You don’t have to know all the answers, but you’re someone who will do their best to find out and will use this opportunity to hone a broad communications skill-set.
