* Strong written and verbal communication skills, able to tailor messages to different audiences and influence decisions.
* Ability to grasp complex and sensitive issues quickly and deliver high‑quality outputs at pace.
* Strong collaboration skills, working effectively with internal teams and external stakeholders.
* Ability to prioritise and re‑prioritise independently in response to organisational needs and time‑critical requirements.
