• Strong organisational and prioritisation skills, and the ability to manage multiple tasks independently whilst maintaining high attention to detail.
• Clear and confident communication skills across all levels, with strong written and verbal reporting skills.
• Skilled in creating and maintaining RAID logs and other PMO/portfolio management tools.
• Proactive, analytical thinker who learns new systems quickly and solves problems creatively.
