· Fundraising and Audience Expansion: Develop strategies to grow our donor base and build relationships with environmental organizations and sports communities.

· Public Speaking and Marketing: Represent POW UK at events and in the media. Use compelling storytelling to persuade and inspire action.

· Technical Acumen: Dive deep into climate policy and advocacy. Commit to continuous learning and embrace uncomfortable conversations to advance our thought leadership.
