- A self-starter, able to work independently (seeking support when needed) and able to juggle competing priorities
- Experience of working on cross border projects or transactions
- A collaborative working approach, able to build networks and work effectively on multi-stakeholder projects and to integrate different cultural perspectives
- Sufficient gravitas and credibility to be able to engage with senior stakeholders autonomously
