  • A strong commercial awareness and understanding of project dynamics, particularly in a multi-supplier environment.
  • A personable, credible, and skilled communicator, communicating effectively with clients and colleagues, including delivering formal presentations, coupled with excellent interpersonal and negotiation skills.
  • A team player capable of delivering results in less-than-perfect circumstances.
  • A non-confrontational, but mature and firm communication style.
  • A highly flexible individual (including a willingness to work away from home base).
  • A positive attitude to overcoming the challenges facing our clients, and the vision and drive to experiment and deliver ‘firsts’.
  • A demonstrated ability in managing, coaching, and developing senior members of your team and the wider community.

Nice-to-haves:

  • Proven experience in project delivery aimed at digital transformation.
  • Experience in managing large-scale agile projects involving distributed teams in a multi-supplier environment.
  • Experience in user research, analytics, and design disciplines and their contribution to the effective delivery of digital services and platforms.
  • Experience securing significant repeat business with an existing client.
  • Experience innovating or leading initiatives that improve management and leadership practices within an organization.
  • A recognized “thought leader” in the public domain.
  • Project or Program Management certification (PMP).
