This includes:
• Leading the communications strategy relating to reputational issues both reactively and proactively in close collaboration with stakeholders across the business.
• Managing communications strategies on priority policy issues. Translating complex policy topics into compelling speaking points, blog posts, opinion pieces, video scripts, research proposals and other communications assets.

• Managing PR agency and consultancy resources.
