Confidently communicating with a range of stakeholders, including face to face and written briefing for ministers and senior officials.
Providing proactive leadership in identifying and implementing improvements and creative solutions to evolve and refine case management practices to be effective and efficient.
The role could provide an exciting career opportunity for candidates from a variety of backgrounds, including policy, operational delivery and finance (including corporate finance), amongst others.

Essential requirements:
Seeing the Big Picture: strong policy skills, with the ability to shape policy thinking from first principles through to operational implementation, identify and fill evidence gaps, multitask and manage competing priorities, and provide excellent advice to ministers.
Working Together: outstanding stakeholder management skills, with strong evidence of working in partnership with other individuals and organisations and using those relationships to deliver progress.
Making Effective Decisions: flexibility to work in uncertain, changing and fast-paced environments and proven ability to make appropriate judgments under pressure, whilst demonstrating the initiative and motivation to seek out and take on new challenges.
Delivering at Pace: A relentless focus on delivering quality outcomes on time across multiple projects simultaneously.
Desirable skills:
Knowledge or experience in a finance, commercial or operational delivery setting.
Knowledge or experience of working in and with the sport cultural sectors.
