You will interface with the National Regeneration, Partnerships and Major Projects team to develop best practice in what we do and to achieve consistency throughout the Country.
Delivering on a mission as bold as ours isnt always easy. You will be resilient and comfortable managing stakeholders. You will be a critical friend to partners, while also being supportive and engaging, you will be comfortable with having difficult and challenging conversations.
Your discussions will always be shaped by a good understanding of the commercial and operational impact of what we do as an agency.
You will enjoy working in an innovative, fun and engaging way and be able to negotiate and persuade.
You will be used to “spinning several plates” at once, meeting various internal and external deadlines and will always be looking for ways to improve.
