• Relationship Building – This role will involve working with stakeholders of varying levels of seniority from across the business so building strong relationships will be critical to the success
• Influencing & Negotiating – In driving our SIAM maturity plans and the evolution of the model, the ability to influence stakeholders and negotiate positions will be key to ensure that you can get everyone aligned behind one approach

• Problem Solving – To drive successfully through the complex landscape we are working in, the successful candidate will need to have a calm approach to issue resolution and will need to keep a focus on working through issues to achieve key goals
• Continuous Improvement Mindset – This will be needed to drive the optimisation of the SIAM model, working with wider stakeholders to look at ongoing opportunities to improve
