- Play an active role in SCW’s Senior Leadership Team, in particular contributing to the wider commercial development of SCW
- Operate effectively in a flexible and demanding environment whilst having regular contact with internal and external stakeholders. This will often include the need to engage with them over sensitive, complex, contentious legal and confidential issues.
- Support the development and management for the budget and ongoing monitoring of expenditure, ensuring the appropriate documentation is available for scrutiny. Furthermore, constantly strive for value for money and greater efficiency in the use of these budgets, taking into consideration that they operate in recurrent financial balance year on year.
