They are used to working with managers, colleagues and external stakeholders, and can adjust their communication style depending on the audience and urgency of the issue. The candidate is particularly strong in trend analysis and data cleansing, and tends to approach problems by understanding the detail first before deciding on a practical next step. They have also had exposure to technology, giving them a useful ability to adapt to different operating environments, systems and stakeholder expectations. They are now looking for a role where they can broaden their responsibilities. In their next move, a role with clearer development pathways is an important consideration. They are open to hybrid working where the role allows it and value clear expectations around performance. In interview, they present as considered and straightforward, with a preference for giving practical examples rather than overstating their experience.
