• Strong stakeholder management skills and the ability to build effective relationships across Editorial, Marketing, Commercial and Creative teams.
• Commercial awareness and confidence managing budgets, targets and performance outcomes.
• A collaborative mindset with the ability to influence, challenge and work effectively across functions.
