  • Campaign and project planning: You know how to plan engagement to achieve specific goals, how to deliver against these plans and how to measure and report progress and outcomes.
  • Ability to relate stakeholder concerns to strategic outcomes: You know how to identify, understand and frame stakeholder issues and concerns so that these issues can be addressed through effective engagement and communication to help deliver the strategic goals of the programme
  • Team player: You are comfortable working with colleagues in different programme workstreams or in Research Councils to support engagement
