You bring a strong track record of continuous improvement, strengthening culture, systems, processes and controls, and enhancing value for money through robust reporting, KPIs and insight.

Commercially savvy, you are confident in procurement, negotiation and supplier management, and highly skilled at using data, trends and analysis to inform strategic decisions. You are an experienced leader of high performing teams with the ability to motivate, develop and empower people.

You have proven capability to influence, challenge and partner constructively at Executive and Board/Trustee level, bringing credibility, clarity and sound judgement to strategic conversations.
