    • Stakeholder management skills, with the ability to handle our clients; you will enjoy advising clients and helping to solve their problems
    • Strong writing skills, including the ability to write literature reviews, to explain technical concepts clearly to non-specialists, and to produce convincing proposals on tight timelines
