You will demonstrate:
A natural ability to influence decision making and strategic direction at all levels with members and other third-party stakeholders
Commercial acumen; capable of identifying growth opportunities, developing new relationships and building upon existing ones
A background in sustainability, paired with great communication and engagement skills
The ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously underpinned with a track record of impactful programme management
