As I am planning a move to Kyiv, I a looking for an organisation that will see the value in bringing in someone with this experience, who understand the value in front line innovation and having a logical and process driven sound board with which to discuss problems and grow the business.
My background is not in IT. A technical role, or one where it is expected to have x years of specific IT experience is not for me. Whilst I can learn the technical aspects, my skillset lies in making things run better from an operational perspective.
I want a role that will be varied, fufilling, and challenging.
