This will be 3 days in the office per week and 2 days from home.

Historical skills of managing a large portfolio of projects and programmes, spinning lots of plates and proven battle scars where you have faced off to difficult stakeholders would certainly be welcomed.
The business loves pragmatic individuals and, as there will be heavy Governance working in this highly regulated environment, we need you to have a strong background in Governance too.
You will need to 'storyboard' your experience both in your CV and at potential interview.
The key interest will be 'business outcomes'. \"What impact did the programme (that you were in charge of) have on the overall business.
