- Ability to influence others and drive business benefit.

- Strong planning, prioritisation and problem‑solving skills.

- Resilient under pressure and confident managing ambiguity.

- Collaborative, proactive and committed to continuous improvement.

- Strategic thinker with commercial awareness.

Key Criteria

- Recognised project management qualification (e.g., PRINCE2 or APM).

- Experience delivering multiple projects, including business case development and benefits realisation.

- Experience of financial controls, RAID management and working with a range of stakeholders.

- Demonstrable team leadership and resource management experience.
