- Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage competing priorities, process high volumes of administration, and meet deadlines.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to tailor engagement to diverse audiences and handle enquiries with diplomacy.
- Proven ability to make strategic connections across different business units within an organisation, translating member feedback into actionable insights for policy reform, advocacy, and project teams.
