You will have experience of setting direction for audit, assurance, governance and non-conformance processes within a complex operational environment, supporting multiple projects or business areas with varying risks, stakeholder requirements and operational demands. Strong influencing and stakeholder management skills are critical, enabling you to effectively advise, challenge and gain buy-in from Senior Managers, Project teams, Suppliers and key Stakeholders.

With strong analytical capability, you will be comfortable interpreting performance data, identifying systemic issues and using management information to drive improvement and intervention. You will also have experience leading change, embedding new ways of working and delivering continuous improvement across teams, processes and management systems.
