• Genuinely communicates clearly and concisely in written communication  
• Displays strong professional judgement and independence backed by high ethical standards  
• Has the ability to engage constructively with diverse stakeholder perspectives  
• Is naturally curious and committed to evidence-based decision-making. 

For the right person, this is an opportunity to shape policy that affects an entire industry, while operating at the highest level of governance and decision-making. 

If you feel you could add value to this role and would like to join an amazing, passionate, talented, close-knit team, we’d love to hear from you today!
