Qualifications: Roles like this, supported and backed at the highest levels of an organisation with substantial scope, do not come up very often, so we're looking for the right fit for the team - intuition and initiative, pride in the quality of work, and an understanding that 'how' you work is just as important as 'what' you're working on.

Be able to frame discussions strategically and connect dots for business leaders that might not be obvious.
