You’ll be a problem solver, able to see and communicate the wider impact of your work, while also being able to get into the detail. You’ll be comfortable working in a continuous learning environment, dealing with ambiguity and change, and balancing multiple priorities. Skilled at building trust, managing team dynamics, and motivating people, ideally with strong coaching and diplomacy skills, allowing you to build effective relationships and achieve buy-in collaboratively.
