  • Strong delivery fundamentals, including planning, RAID, governance and progress tracking
  • Outstanding communication skills -clear, structured and pragmatic
  • A confident but humble approach, with the ability to build trust quickly
  • A proactive, ownership‑led mindset and the ability to drive work forward independently
  • Right to work in the UK for the duration of the programme
