Consultancy experience is useful but not essential. What matters is that you have the credibility, experience and personality to understand a client's problems and help them find the right solution.

You will be a strong listener and communicator, naturally curious, commercially aware and comfortable coaching rather than telling.

• Predominantly remote working
• Approximately 2-3 months a year international travel
