Expenses Act and other) and prior work experience in the public sector is desirable
  • Proven expertise in hosting online and hybrid events (esp. on MS Teams, Webex and Zoom)
with both efficiency and creativity, along with the ability to offer guidance to stakeholders on
these formats
  • Proficiency in working with Microsoft Office 365
  • Strong team and communication skills including high political and intercultural sensitivity and
diplomatic skills
