You will be proactive, driven and take a team approach when interacting with stakeholders & ensuring recommendations are sustained.
Finally, you will have proven experience in a leadership role and will have prior experience working in a similar role with a global management consulting firm. Ideally you will have worked with a variety of clients in both delivery and business development.

What we are looking for:

• Strong leadership skills and the ability to influence C level and operational management
  
• Exceptional logical reasoning and the ability to ruthlessly prioritise to ensure rapid gains are achieved and sustained
