You’ll need excellent writing, editing and proofreading skills and an ability to simplify complex information, plus great questioning and interpersonal skills to allow you to interact with and support a wide range of stakeholders, both inside and outside of the project team.

You must be able to work flexibly and independently, while meeting deadlines and have an appreciation of the internal communication challenges a university faces.
