Presenting the results of work on the Mayors policies, objectives and concerns at conferences, seminars and meetings to external bodies and organisations. Skills, knowledge and experience 1.A successful track record, in a high-profile organisation, of influencing and shaping policy, and ensuring its implementation although not necessarily in fire and rescue. 2.Evidence of working with stakeholders, and building partnerships, to leverage external knowledge and resources to deliver GLA objectives. 3.A successful track record of providing high-quality, impartial advice in a sensitive political environment, at a senior level. 4.Experience of project-based work including planning and monitoring delivery against plans; and preparing clear and concise reports, presentations and briefings on complex and sensitive issues for various audiences.
