You’ll build relationships with a wide range of stakeholders, facilitate meetings and discussions, and communicate complex information clearly to help teams work towards shared objectives.

A key part of the role will be supporting people through change. You’ll help teams understand new ways of working, encourage collaboration and ensure that the views and concerns of those affected are heard and considered.

You’ll be comfortable analysing information, managing competing priorities and deadlines, preparing reports and presentations, and using project management tools and Microsoft applications to support effective delivery.
