A strong drive to achieve tangible, measurable delivery outcomes, with a focus on continuous improvement across teams. Strong facilitation, coaching, and influencing skills, supporting teams in adopting better ways of working. A mindset of learning and improvement, with the judgement to trial new approaches pragmatically and discard what doesn't work. Desirable Experience in SaaS, data platforms or analytics products.
