• Experience in a top‑tier global consulting firm and/or a comparable role within a financial institution. Consulting experience is preferred.
• Strong research and analytical capability, with a record of synthesising information from multiple sources into meaningful insights and pragmatic solutions.
• Experience creating and maintaining frameworks, methodologies and tools for strategy management, business planning, business architecture or operating model management.

• Strong written and verbal communication, stakeholder engagement and influencing skills, including confidence working with senior executives.
• The ability to use Agency AI capabilities responsibly and effectively, applying sound judgement, validation and appropriate information‑handling requirements.
