• Communicative and Influential – You communicate complex ideas concisely and convincingly. You adjust your communication to your audience and are comfortable with presenting to senior leaders.
• Discerning and Deliberative – You are careful and methodical, navigate uncertainty and risks expertly, and have a knack for steering away from impulsive or ill‑informed decisions.
• Action‑Oriented and Results‑Driven – You have a desire to take action, try new things, and sometimes fail. Roadblocks won’t set you back, because you’ll stay focused on your goals. You’re organised, able to juggle multiple deliverables, and prioritise your work while keeping the customer at the forefront of everything you do.
• Up for a Challenge – Big, undefined, unfamiliar, and complex problems will be exciting for you as you work to identify well‑rounded solutions. You have an insatiable appetite for learning, and are constantly seeking out new challenges.
