You'll be a proven leader, and a real motivator. You'll have strong organisational skills and be able to delegate. This is a highly visible position, so you'll blend management skills with excellent communication. You'll be clear and persuasive about the benefits, objectives and delivery process. And when you're speaking to senior staff and stakeholders, you'll leave out the jargon.
