- The ability to engage confidently with senior customers, business decision-makers, technical teams and C-level stakeholders.
- Experience applying governance and assurance processes to manage risk across pre-sales and in-flight delivery.
- Experience creating virtual teams and bringing together expertise from across Professional Services and Group functions.
- A proactive approach to building relationships with customers, vendors, partners and internal stakeholders.
