Lead the planning and delivery of the Foundation's participation in key strategic, multistakeholder events around the world, eg United Nations Conference of Parties (COP).
Undertake other ad hoc tasks as required in a fastpaced strategic affairs role.

Essential:

Previous experience in a relevant international event, project or relationship management role.
Demonstrable understanding of capital markets, corporate financial / sustainability reporting matters and the landscape in which IFRS Standards operate.
Enthusiasm for entrepreneurial environments; comfort with ambiguity and fastchanging conditions.
Ability to work collaboratively and diplomatically with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders, including at a senior level, to deliver positive outcomes in a timely manner.
Strong project management skills, with the ability to manage complex projects and to maintain a high level of attention to detail, even when working under pressure.
Strong English written and verbal communication skills.
Demonstrable understanding of—and commitment to—the Foundation's mission.

Relevant graduatelevel qualification.
