• The opportunity is a greenfield one with the chance to develop and shape the function and ensure that it is effective and fit for purpose

• You will possess exceptional communication skills, both written and verbal, as well as a problem solving and inquisitive mindset
• Effective stakeholder management is paramount, and the ability to work with Senior Management located in different time-zones / jurisdictions
