Prospective candidates for the post of CEO need to have demonstrated experience in “major turnaround initiatives and managing change, with a focus on embedding an excellent customer experience; developing strategic plans to increase profitability and market share, and balancing long-term shareholder value maximisation with short term business results.”
“The incumbent should have the ability to lead in a complex environment involving multiple stakeholders and will possess excellent strategic, leadership and communication skills, and be politically adept.”
“Candidates should be financially astute in a commercially constrained environment. Significant experience in general management, including the leadership and coaching of senior executives across core functions is essential,” TSTT stated.
Applicants should have a Post Graduate degree in Business Administration from a recognised business school as well as a minimum of ten years’ experience in senior management positions in telecommunications or other industries with significant technology and customer satisfaction elements.
The closing date for applications is the end of this month.
