National Police Check (or equivalent) must be obtainable and clear.
4. Skills: Strong strategic thinking, risk assessment, and problem-solving abilities. Excellent research, analytical, drafting, and communication skills (including policy development and regulatory interpretation). Proven ability to work independently in a remote setting while collaborating cross-functionally with global teams.
