Hi, in terms of skills I think good communication skills is key as you liaise with people from different departments, different levels and even different companies. Stakeholder management comes hand in hand with that and adapting to all of the people you collaborate with. I would say organisation too because in both of my roles in technical and operations I have many and varied tasks to do so I keep track of everything to ensure I hit deadlines and complete everything required of me.

I joined Commercial Operations with absolutely no knowledge if the technology I would be using and developing but I learned quickly and having that open mindset and curiosity to learn was key to success. I have had the same mindset again in my current role as I have learned to use another new piece of software, which has been a steep learning curve but one that gives me great satisfaction as I progress with it.

Thanks a lot, Eve. I really appreciate you taking the time to share this. I completely agree about communication and staying organised. I’ve always been a curious person too, and that’s helped me learn and grow a lot — though I never really thought about it that way until now. Your answer really made sense to me.
