With exceptional organizational skills, you have the ability to manage multiple projects and challenges and you can consistently balance responsibility and accountability with a drive for delivering results. You have a solid track record of successfully implementing creative initiatives that have a clear impact on overall operational performance. A dynamic leader with strong interpersonal skills, you will excel at leading a diverse team that will consistently anticipate and positively respond to evolving customer requirements and are committed to customer service excellence.

The ideal candidate will have a Master’s degree in a health-related field, business or Bachelor of Law.
