The incumbent must establish, develop and maintain a technical team with the required exposure, experience, training and skills in order to meet the business requirements as set out in legislation and in the above purposes of the role. For this reason the incumbent must be self-driven (possess drive and local locus of control) and technically astute (specialist skills are required), and moreover be a team and people developer. Due to the dynamic nature of the business and the business environment, this role and the incumbent is required to be highly flexible and adaptive in nature, especially where some of the business environment may still be largely unstructured. This culture needs to be established by the incumbent in the team and work environment. A high degree of systems (implying structure, processes and tools) development and implementation will be required – to this extent the role initially will require entrepreneurial (intra or internally to the business) as well as innovative thinking skills, where after the role will gradually become more maintenance and optimisation focussed. A further key purpose will be the development of people centred or enabling systems (again systems in the broader sense) which will be empowering, adaptive and flexible in nature, while still meeting the strict requirements of the regulatory and commercial environment.
