Progressively responsible professional experience in chief-of-staff, executive-office, secretariat, governance-support or senior coordination functions, including demonstrated experience preparing board, bureau or committee business, drafting senior-level briefs, correspondence, talking points, reports and meeting records, and coordinating delivery across teams without direct line authority. Experience working with governments, international organisations, research institutions, academia or civil society is desirable, while experience relating to Sudan, the Horn of Africa, fragile contexts or institutional transition is considered a strong asset.
