  • Demonstrated ability to develop independent judgment and identify risks and opportunities across a range of areas.
  • Highly developed verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to present complex issues clearly, tailoring communications to meet audience needs.
  • Strong interpersonal skills with the interest and ability to foster good stakeholder relationships through consultation and partnership.
  • Desirable – Experience in performance measures.
