Additionally, the applicant must enjoy a professional level command in English with over 6 years of experience in IT domain or relevant work, but the candidate must have spent the last two years being in a managerial IT role commanding own team.

Selected participants will go through an extensive leadership assessment to identify individual development needs. These needs are addressed at four in-person workshops revolving around digital leadership.
