  • Proven ability to foster effective relationships, using complex influencing strategies to ensure alignment between participants' and collaborators' needs, and CSIRO's objectives.
  • Superior interpersonal, coaching, systems thinking, written and verbal communication, negotiation, and consultative skills at all levels but particularly in relation to advising and guiding senior business leaders.
  • Demonstrated history of anticipating and successfully managing complex problems in ambiguous situations.
  • A significant record of innovation and creativity, plus the ability and willingness to incorporate and/or promote the inclusion of novel ideas and approaches into projects of all sizes and scale.
