  • Strong stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to communicate with influence across internal and external networks.
  • Experience preparing high-quality advice, briefs, and reports for senior leaders.
  • Excellent time management and the ability to prioritise competing demands in a complex environment.
  • A quick learner with a proactive mindset and a desire to grow.
  • A positive, inclusive team player who can work effectively in a geographically dispersed and diverse organisation.
