You've got a firm grasp of the current political landscape and where the electorate sits within it.

You're happy to work autonomously and are well known for your resilient and unflappable nature.
You will be stepping into an environment that is unique, exciting, and rewarding. As an organisation, it's extremely important to us that our people feel supported and are given the opportunity to continue to grow and develop their knowledge and their careers.
