+ develop capability; building momentum across the organisation to create a virtual team of creative content-writers, with great communication skills and strong commercial awareness
+ optimise knowledge; creating quality content that can be reused, building continual improvement into our knowledge estate and pre-sales assets
**What experience you'll bring:**
To take advantage of this opportunity you will need to be a highly structured individual with solid technical background and the ability to lead people and orchestrate multiple points of view. Experience in both delivery and operational roles would be beneficial.
+ You must be comfortable operating with high levels of ambiguity, you must have the ability to be bold, bring clarity and build confidence in our understanding of each opportunity
