Contributes to strategic planning by identifying opportunities, risks, and long-term policy trends, and supporting advocacy strategies and organizational positioning. Monitors government announcements, legislative sessions, and sector developments, maintaining situational awareness across the policy landscape. Flags emerging issues requiring executive attention and maintains an issues tracker with status, risks, and recommended actions. Drafts speeches, talking points, meeting notes, and correspondence for government officials and stakeholders, ensuring clarity, accuracy, and strategic alignment. Qualifications A bachelor’s degree or higher in public policy, political science, government relations, economics, business, or a related field. Strategic thinking skills, with the ability to see the big picture, anticipate implications, and connect policy developments to organizational priorities. Analytical rigor, with comfort navigating ambiguity, complex data, and multi-variable decision environments. Executive communication skills, with the ability to produce concise, persuasive, and decision-oriented writing. Stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to navigate internal politics, external relationships, and multi-party coordination.
