The candidate should have robust technical knowledge, analytical and communication skills, and high attention to detail to manage and prioritize conflicting demands and deliver technical analyses on time.

This role requires working collaboratively with NFSA staff, technical specialists, and creative talent. The successful candidate will have tertiary qualifications and experience in providing strategic advice and recommendations to meet diverse business needs. A positive attitude, efficiency, integrity, and the ability to support colleagues in meeting project deadlines while maintaining high standards are essential. You will contribute to multiple projects of moderate complexity and difficulty, demonstrating flexibility and professionalism in your work.
