Ability to conduct user research to understand needs
Confidence to communicate vision, desired outcomes and priorities
Ability to engage with stakeholders and organisations across different sectors
Ability to provide the connection between multidisciplinary teams (business/clinical /technical) and other stakeholders
Confidence in decision making
Experience in lean and agile methodologies
An understanding of product thinking and product sense
Demonstrate honesty, integrity, care and compassion when dealing with others, utilising tact and persuasion skills when necessary
