What kind of soft skills have you developed since you joined the firm?

Marion W.

Senior Finance Project Manager

We could list quite a lot, but first, Team Work: in both positions that I have occupied so far, this is key. In Internal Audit, we were spending 3 weeks together abroad on an assignment, including weekends. Collaboration was essential to obtain results and live together. Same on Project: part of the Management Team, our common decisions are driving the project on a daily basis, and best decisions are coming when all information are gathered and agreed by everyone.
Then I would emphasize also the Critical Thinking: this is the basis of an audit, but as Finance Project Manager, challenging and questioning the reliability, consistency and need of the costs is essential to drive the project in the right direction.
And finally Adaptation: this is a daily need, to deal with all the unpredictable situations on complex project. This is part of our AIR values: Agile, Inclusive and Responsible.
