  • Great Communication: Outstanding written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate complex data concepts into clear, actionable insights.

  • Knowledge of Public Service: Genuine interest in how data can transform public services and non-governmental organisations.

  • Collaborative Spirit: A team player who really enjoys a collaborative environment and contributes positively to our culture.

Valuable Additions:
