• Continue delivering on year one items and enhance communications strategies.
• Support and have input into editorial and corporate communications priorities.
• Deliver communication and engagement pieces to support the regulatory process.
• Successfully lead and navigate emergent issues and shape a positive public response.

• An extremely detail-oriented mindset with a proven strategic acumen.
• Proactive and excellent problem-solving skills.
• Ability to be, on a rotational basis, part of the 24/7 on-call departmental emergency response team, to respond to media enquiries in the interest of public.
• A confident, concise and effective communication style to thrive in a fast-pased environment.
