  • Proficiency in business planning, financial management systems, and performance reporting.
  • Exceptional verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to integrate and present data insights effectively along with report writing.
  • Proven experience in long-term outcome planning and consultation operational delivery.
  • Knowledge and understanding of Treaty Settlement and implementation context.
