• Previous knowledge and exposure to managing budgeting processes and governance.
• Ability to build rapport and foster relationships with a variety of stakeholders with demonstrated strength in influencing outcomes collaboratively.
• Demonstrated ability to apply a firm but consistent approach and to be authentic in dealings with stakeholders.
