For this role, we believe you have previous experience working as a consultant, in commercial operations or government agency.
We place a strong emphasis on leadership and people management in this role and therefore hold some previous management experience as a requirement. We are looking for a leader who can continue to develop the section through an unpretentious, responsive and inclusive approach.

You need to have a business mindset, which is fundamental to the role as you are responsible for the section's operations and finances. Developing the business, working on tenders and conducting marketing work are part of the role of section manager.
The real success factors for the role are your personal qualities. Building good relationships, both with customers and colleagues, is an important part of the role. You are likely to have demonstrated good leadership in previous roles by engaging and motivating.
