• Able to track key metrics; gather, analyse & act on feedback to improve engagement;
• Comfortable managing a flexible workload;
• Eligible to work in UK.

This is a fantastic opportunity to lead the growth of two high-profile, high-impact networks, working with amazing delivery & support organisations & people.
