- **Plan and deliver**: Plan and scope work, meet deadlines, identify risks and issues, and collaborate with other teams to ensure coordinated implementation
- **Communication**: Seek decisions and keep everyone in the loop; draft memos, guidelines, website content, and presentations; use effective communication tactics to manage change.

Senior Advisors work on and lead small, medium, and larger pieces of work to deliver the right outcomes and solve the problem at hand. For a taster of the policies we work on, and with, day-to-day see Funding Mechanisms and Delegations on the TEC website.

Previous experience working in government in a policy and/or operational policy environment, particularly in administration of legislation and/or investment programmes, is highly desirable.
