· Excellent communication and people management skills, with an ability to build relationships, trust, and inspire confidence and respect at all levels.

· Strong team player who can work both independently and collaboratively with internal and external stakeholders.

· Excellent planning and organisational skills, and the ability to manage a varied workload and reprioritise work in accordance with the organisation’s needs. 

· Excellent listening skills, demonstrating flexibility, curiosity, and an ability to learn.
