- Excellent communication skills and the ability to turn complex topics into clear, concise messages for senior stakeholders
- Confidence working with senior stakeholders across business and functional teams
- Strong organisational, planning, and problem-solving skills
- Ability to thrive in an environment where priorities can shift and work is not always highly structured
What would make you stand out
- Background in Big 4 advisory, especially strategy, operations, performance improvement, or business transformation
- Experience in multinational insurance, broking, banking, or wider financial services environments
- Experience supporting senior leadership with executive reporting, planning cadence, and cross-functional execution
