  • Capacity to propose and implement innovation and business improvement initiatives.
  • Proven ability to build and maintain complex stakeholder relationships at all levels.
  • Clear communication skills, including the ability to distil complex intelligence information and develop written briefings for senior leaders.
  • Adaptability, a commitment to continuous learning, and openness to new ways of working.
  • Sound judgement and decision-making governed by regulations and best practice.

Desirable Qualifications / Experience

  • Candidates must hold a Top Secret Positive Vetting (TSPV) or Top Secret-Privileged Access (TS-PA) security clearance.
