The successful candidate should be skilled in negotiations, providing advice on property matters, and overseeing team work, with a focus on developing skills and leadership, as well as legal and professional capabilities. Excellent communication, drafting skills, and the ability to advise diverse audiences, including senior officers and Members, are essential.
