• Research and analytical capabilities, with experience investigating data consistency, gathering user feedback, collating basic datasets, and summarising insights to support decision-making and continuous improvement.
• Demonstrated project management and organisational skills, including the ability to coordinate engagement activities, contribute to training and support initiatives, manage competing priorities, and maintain high levels of accuracy and detail in documentation and task tracking within deadlines.
