- Leadership and Management experience
- Experience working with and influencing senior stakeholders
- Strong understanding of delivery risk, dependencies, financial management and suppliers
- Experience leading multidisciplinary teams and creating high-performing delivery environments
- The ability to understand technical challenges and explain them clearly to non-technical audiences
