You will possess strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with experience using data and CRM systems to evaluate engagement activities, inform decision-making, and drive continuous improvement. Your exceptional written and verbal communication skills will be complemented by demonstrated experience planning and delivering successful events, managing budgets and logistics, and creating meaningful engagement opportunities that strengthen stakeholder relationships and organisational outcomes.
