5–10+ years in policy, regulation, government or reform.
Experience working in or alongside government and understanding how policy is shaped.
Strong ability to write clear, concise policy documents.
Curiosity, strategic thinking and a willingness to challenge the status quo.
Ability to work in a fast‑paced, shifting environment with multiple priorities.
Confidence engaging with senior leaders and diverse stakeholders.
Proficiency in Microsoft Suite.
