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 scenario planning and data analysis, 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 value a supportive manager, clear priorities and a team that communicates well. In interview, they present as considered and straightforward, with a preference for giving practical examples rather than overstating their experience.
