• Strong stakeholder management and executive communication skills.
• Experience translating business objectives into executable plans and delivering measurable outcomes.
• Strong consulting mindset, with the ability to influence, structure complex problems and operate effectively in ambiguity.
• Experience managing risks, issues, dependencies, governance and project reporting.
• Experience supporting change management, communications and business adoption.
• Strong understanding of project delivery methodologies and governance.
• Experience working with technology-enabled transformation, such as data, platforms, automation or operational improvement, without needing to be a hands-on technologist.

• Understanding of front office, middle office or Investment Operations environments.
• Experience delivering initiatives across both business and technology teams.
• Experience working within a global or complex organisational environment.
