- Build trust with key contacts to enable them to discuss sensitive issues and be assured that accurate information will be given to the DCE.
- Able to build and maintain positive relationships and handle interactions with diplomacy and tact
- Exceptional organisational and multi-tasking skills, with the ability to manage complex schedules and prioritise tasks effectively
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills
- Demonstrated experience with finance systems and/or a strong willingness and capability to rapidly acquire relevant skills

- The opportunity to be part of a new agency with a clear vision
- Work with a dedicated and supportive leadership team, with a strong delivery focus and a can-do approach
