You’ll work closely with stakeholders across the business, partnering with design, engineering and commercial teams to build a truly user‑centric solution from the ground up.

- Operating in ambiguity and driving clarity: comfortable working in undefined problem spaces, can shape problems as well as work with cross‑functional teams to solve them. Able to create clarity, structure and direction where they may not exist.
- Working in cross‑functional teams: demonstrated ability to work closely with engineering, design, data, operations and business stakeholders as a single team.
Highly Valued Skills
