• Previous exposure to CEO Office, executive‑level strategy, corporate development, or enterprise‑wide transformation initiatives is a strong advantage.
• A proven ability to structure ambiguous problems, analyse complex data, and develop clear, commercially sound recommendations.
• Strong understanding of business performance, financial metrics, growth drivers, and value creation.
