  • Experience and a passion for Design Thinking and Human-Centred Design.
  • Project management experience in a consultancy environment is essential.
  • Business development, bid writing and thought leadership skills would also be desirable.
  • Experience dealing with uncertainty and the ability to be flexible and adaptable to a working environment that is evolving in nature, and requires varied project work and client demands.
