• Experience managing multidisciplinary teams and complex product portfolios.
• Strong stakeholder engagement and influencing skills, including at executive and board level.

• Deep understanding of user-centred design, agile delivery, and digital best practices.
• Excellent communication, leadership, and organisational skills (including educating on product importance).
