 Competencies

• Good project leadership skills, with the ability to delegate effectively, coach team members, and promote an inclusive working environment
• Confident in managing technical and commercial risks within complex, multi-stakeholder projects
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to translate complex technical topics into clear, actionable insights
