- Ability to translate technical or policy insight (e.g. standards, user experience, accessibility, or engineering considerations) into practical delivery and funding approaches.
- Experience managing projects or funding opportunities from inception through to delivery, ideally across multiple partners or suppliers.
- Strong stakeholder engagement and influencing skills, with the ability to work effectively across government, industry, and the charity sector.
- Excellent organisational and project management skills, with the ability to deliver multiple, complex workstreams to deadlines.
- Strong analytical capability, able to interpret data, research and qualitative insight to inform recommendations and decision-making.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to produce high-quality reports, business cases, and presentations for senior audiences.
