Understanding and working knowledge of Operating Models (ideally using an Integrated Work System), continuous improvement and process improvement techniques.

Commercial understanding, ability to understand a P&L and operational levers, with the ability to analyse and diagnose data.

Track record of working as part of and leading a “senior leadership team”, combining operational understanding and strategic thinking.
