At this level, we are just as interested in your personality and your attitude as we are in any specific experience. What we can tell you for sure is that we look for people with
An MBA from a respected business school
Significant proven management experience with:
Evidence of promotion/upward movement or of a growing team (in business or start-up environment)
Evidence of significant responsibility in previous roles - e.g. budgetary, project responsibility, team management etc.
You'll also need to be a good fit with the set of values that underpin our business.
They are:
consistently delivering on our promises - showing the highest standards of personal integrity
listening and responding - proving yourself not just as a leader but as an effective team member
keeping things simple and clear - effective communication is about getting your message across, not sounding impressive
constantly working to create new communication possibilities - having the ambition, vision and courage to try a new approach
showing passion and conviction - coming to work to make a difference, not just a living and putting customers at the heart of everything you do
If you can honestly say you embody these values, that you're the kind of person who blazes their own trail and routinely challenges accepted wisdom, we'd like to hear from you.
