• The ability to provide operational structure, governance and prioritisation while creating an environment where creative teams can thrive.
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills.
• Experience using workflow and project management tools such as Asana.
• A proactive approach to solving problems, improving ways of working and driving operational effectiveness.
