  • Combine analytical rigour with practical delivery instinct, translating insight into action at pace
  • Are comfortable working independently and stepping into leadership roles on engagements, setting direction and maintaining momentum
  • Can move seamlessly across system finance, care model design, workforce, governance and operational performance
  • Have a natural ability to facilitate senior conversations, lead workshops, and align diverse stakeholders around a clear plan
