  • Be well-versed across the agile and digital space, have experience motivating and leading cross-functional teams.
  • A commercial and strategic awareness, applying a pragmatic, data-led mindset to everything you do
  • Flexible and resilient in approach, willing to change and adapt plans quickly based on new information
