  • Ability to think strategically and implement a clear and compelling vison for the organisation, analysing proposals and reaching well-judged decisions under challenging circumstances.
  • Strong leadership skills, setting clear objectives and developing and motivating teams to deliver results - including across formal reporting lines - promoting a culture of inclusion and diversity.
