You will have a Project Management certification or professional body membership (e.g., Prince2/Agile PM/MSP/PMI/APM) and demonstrable experience running projects that include workplace strategy, significant cultural change, refurbishment, or relocation projects.
As an exceptional communicator and influencer, you will tailor communication approaches and styles to build rapport and trust with colleagues and stakeholders, including at senior levels.
