Is this role right for you?

• Experience and proven track record in project delivery, strategy development, or business transformation, bringing a background from management consulting ideally combined with in-house experience in a large, matrixed organisation.
• Exceptional strategic thinking and analytical problem-solving skills, with the ability to turn complex topics into clear recommendations, decision frameworks and compelling narratives.
• Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional strategic initiatives and influence senior stakeholders across organisational boundaries without formal authority.
• Experience designing and facilitating executive workshops, leadership forums and strategic planning processes, including producing high-quality executive materials.
