You will relish the challenge of managing multiple projects of varying complexity, providing tactical management and leadership. We can’t predict in advance what some of the projects will be, but we know they are coming – so you will need to be highly dynamic, flexible and resilient.

- You show real initiative and you are a self-starter – you have the ability to shape and lead a project sometimes with limited input from above.
- Experience in Agile ways of working.
