  • Managing project scope, timelines and implementation
  • Working with the Enterprise PMO on project updates, risks and key deliverables
  • 7-10 years' experience in corporate finance, M&A, or corporate development
  • Significant experience leading complex transactions from end to end, including the negotiation of commercial and legal contracts
  • Experience in supporting executive leadership teams and boards with clear and impactful business cases and detailed market insights to support Tirlan's strategic agenda and investment proposals
  • Proven track record identifying new investment and / or acquisition opportunities
  • Experience in managing change and complex projects with multiple senior stakeholders
  • Ability to bring a vast amount of information to an opportunity or challenge and quickly understand what is important
  • Ability to evaluate strategic options and provide clear recommendations grounded in data & facts
  • Self-starter with the ability to work in and navigate a complex, cross-functional commercial environment to "get things done"
  • Results orientated with a high level of initiative, willing to take the lead in projects and to promote the development from concept to realization
  • Strategic Agility - Ability to work towards the project delivery, manage priority setting and to systematically coordinate multiple projects
  • Interpersonal Savvy - Excellent interpersonal and communication skills paired with the ability to build and manage relationships with internal & external stakeholders
  • Creativity - Successful track record of developing creative methods and 'outside the box' thinking
  • Dealing with Ambiguity - Strong desire and ability to work in fast paced, deadline orientated, ambiguous environment
