Personality / Attitude
- An eagerness to learn: Most critically, what we’re looking for is someone who approaches new topics with curiosity and is willing to put in the effort to learn (which we’re there to support).
- Flexible: In line with our values, we’re looking for someone who is nimble enough to adapt to changing circumstances and work in a fast-paced environment. More likely than not, our work may require you to multi-task between multiple clients.
- Ownership: You’re someone whose first instinct is to say, “Don’t worry, I got this” when given work. This doesn’t mean that we expect you to know everything in advance, but we’re looking for someone who is willing to take responsibility for the work and make sure it’s completed
Skills:
- Verbal and written communication skills: As the work entails documenting and creating
communication material, you’d be expected to be someone who has a natural flair for the same. - Research, analytical and organizational skills: As research forms the basis of our advocacy strategy, you’d be expected to be able to understand how to go about finding information (with some help and direction from senior colleagues).

- You will be expected to keep a close eye on ongoing discussions in parliament and the public sphere (don’t worry – we’ll help you understand how to go about doing this in the most streamlined manner).
- You will also be expected to track events taking place around major developments.
- Research and documentation: You’ll be expected to support the team in conducting research as per the needs of the client. As mentioned above, this is largely secondary research and the depth of research will vary per client and project.

- You may also be required to create meeting notes and other standard documents such as briefing documents for meetings.
- You will also be expected to actively prepare and edit communications, presentations, and other documents required for fulfilling client deliverables, as required.
