  • Demonstrated leadership capability, including the ability to manage, mentor, coach and develop staff.
  • Ability to set clear expectations and contribute to a high-performing and collaborative team.
  • Proven ability to build trusted relationships, influence senior stakeholders and provide strategic advice and navigate competing views to achieve effective outcomes.
