As the successful candidate, you will bring strong analytical and problem-solving skills, exceptional communication and relationship-building abilities, and proven leadership in managing complex initiatives. You will demonstrate expertise in policy development and strategic thinking, with the ability to navigate sensitive, high-profile issues using sound judgment and professionalism.
