What you’ll bring

• A strong track record of leading multi‑channel campaigning that shifts policy, budgets and public narratives.
• Deep experience of political strategy and stakeholder management (government, parliament, local systems, sector leaders and media).
• Credibility and facilitation skills to align diverse organisations behind shared priorities—and keep them moving.
