• Track and report key metrics such as burn-down, burn-up and cumulative flow charts.

• Practical problem solving, strategic thinking, critical thinking and a self-starting approach.
• Strong communication with all levels of staff and with internal and external customers, including presentations, negotiations and written reports.
• Ability to work at pace while keeping the strategic direction in view and going into detail when needed.
• Willingness to get hands-on and help solve problems directly.
