  • Deliver insights and strategic recommendations, acting as a trusted advisor to client stakeholders
  • Partner closely with commercial, legal, and operational teams to ensure seamless execution and delivery

  • Proven ability to lead commercial negotiations, structure contracts, and manage complex vendor relationships
  • Strong project management and stakeholder engagement skills, with a focus on outcomes and execution
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal abilities; adept at influencing senior internal and external stakeholders
