Key Skills:

Exceptional stakeholder management skills, with the ability to communicate effectively across all levels of the organisation and with independent consultants. A collaborative, entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to lead in an ambiguous, fast-evolving environment. Strong analytical skills, with experience leveraging data and tools to inform decisions and drive portfolio success.
