    • Strong understanding of publishing-related systems, networks and infrastructure
    • Experience analysing, implementing and evaluating complex IT systems
    • Proven budget management experience
    • Excellent organisational and time-management skills
    • Outstanding communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts clearly to non-technical colleagues and to write clear, practical policies
