• Excellent organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously.

• Experience working with delivery teams across different locations, including global delivery centres.

• Strong technical understanding across one or more areas such as:

  • Technical Architecture

For this particular requirement, candidates will typically need:

• 5 years of continuous UK address history, usually with no periods of 30 consecutive days or more spent outside the UK.
