About you
You’re an analytical thinker with a passion for strategy and making a real-world impact. You thrive in a dynamic environment and are comfortable navigating ambiguity to find clarity.

You’re known for your ability to communicate clearly and concisely – whether it’s through a compelling presentation or a well-structured Board paper. You enjoy working collaboratively but are equally confident taking initiative and working independently to deliver results.
To success in this role, you will need to be able to demonstrate the following:
* Be confident in communications and negotiation skills with senior leaders and executives
* Ability to simplify the complex, to have effective conversations with a broad audience including external stakeholders, the Board, CEO, executives and senior leaders, including the ability to create documents that illustrate complex issues simply
* Strong ability to influence without authority
* Experienced in undertaking deep dive analysis on complex issues that are often ambiguous in nature requiring a broad range of analytical skills and the ability to seek solutions and make recommendations in uncertainty
* Confidence in working with ambiguity or little guidance or direction
