Experience developing benefits plans business cases value measures or outcome frameworks would be useful as would experience working across projects programmes portfolios or business change.
But curiosity critical thinking and the ability to learn matter just as much to us.
A little ambiguity doesnt scare you
Were building something new.
Not every template has been written. Not every standard has been established. Sometimes well experiment learn and adjust.
