• Proven ability to engage and influence stakeholders through clear communication, tailored messaging, and engagement in forums
• Excellent planning and organisational skills to support end-to-end delivery of change, including readiness tracking, reporting, and governance compliance.
• Some experience with change management methodology and frameworks is beneficial, but not essential
