 To be successful, you will need:
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 Proven experience in a delivery, operations, or program management role within a technology, software, or AI environment.

 Deep hands-on experience and working knowledge of

 Excellent technical literacy&mdash;the ability to understand engineering workflows, ask the right questions, and hold people to their commitments.
 </li>
 <li>
 A solid understanding of the
 
 finance industry, financial markets, or private equity
 
 (highly advantageous).
 </li>

 Strong recruitment instincts with a confident ability to assess and judge technical candidates.
