Minimum 10 years’ of extensive commercial management experience, ideally within defence.
Comfort working autonomously as a "doer" in fast-paced, high-risk environments.
Excellent interpersonal skills and flexibility, you will need the ability to collaborate effectively with busy senior leaders, internal project managers, and site staff.
