  • A track record of strategic account management and of developing innovative commercial partnership and deal constructs.
  • An outstanding ability to forge excellent relationships and a strong, senior network across the digital and professional services landscape.
  • Evidenced ability to use data, including stakeholder insights and wider intelligence, to inform strategy development and underpin business growth.
  • Have highly developed written and oral communication skills with a proven track record in skilful navigation through senior stakeholders across business and industry.
  • An ability to create and contribute to a culture of innovation and a collaborative approach to delivering outcomes.
  • A track record of strong leadership, of delivering through others in a matrix organisation and of developing high performing teams.
  • An understanding of the UK innovation funding and organisational landscape.
