- Presentation of outputs and recommendations to clients and their supply chain.

- Strong report writing and presentation skills
- Ability to work autonomously and in fast-paced environment, and able to adapt and meet challenges as they develop during the delivery stage
- Strong interpersonal skills will be required to communicate with a variety of stakeholders with varying levels of seniority and engagement.
- Achieve the highest standards of professional competence and to demonstrate this ability in all dealings with clients and professional contacts, reinforcing the profile of the company.
