• Proven experience in digital communications, with a strong track record of managing corporate digital channels and content

• Strong project management skills with experience delivering complex digital projects such as website migrations 
• Ability to work collaboratively across teams and influence at all levels 
• High attention to detail, with the judgement to manage brand, regulatory and reputational considerations in a corporate communications environment
