- Exposure to automation tooling, workflow design or testing, or a clear appetite to develop in that direction.

- Strong analytical skills, with the ability to interrogate data and evidence a recommendation.

What We Expect of the Strategic Operations Team Regardless of role or focus area, everyone in Strategic Operations is expected to demonstrate the following:
- Deep technical and operational knowledge — genuine depth in how our processes, data and platforms actually work — the detail that only comes from having run the work.
- Curiosity — the instinct to ask why a process looks the way it does, to challenge the answer, and to keep asking whether there is a better way.
- A transformational mindset — comfortable redesigning end to end rather than patching, and prepared to see change through past go-live to the point where it is genuinely adopted.
- Ownership through to adoption — accountability does not end at delivery; success is measured by whether the change sticks in the business.
- Commercial and client awareness — an understanding of what we can genuinely run, so that what we commit to a client is deliverable.
- Global mindset — working across regions, jurisdictions and time zones, and designing solutions that scale beyond a single desk, client or location.
- Ambition to shape Citco’s future — an appetite to help build the operating model we will run for years, and to be measured on whether it works.
