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 query resolution and data accuracy, and tends to approach problems by understanding the detail first before deciding on a practical next step. They have also had exposure to manufacturing, giving them a useful ability to adapt to different operating environments, systems and stakeholder expectations. They are now looking for a role offering a mix of autonomy and support. In their next move, the opportunity to broaden their skills is an important consideration. They are particularly interested in employers that invest in development and provide clear feedback.
