• Provide ideas and suggestions that could lead to innovative ways of thinking or new ways of presenting research material.
• Show the ability to (a) exercise independent decision making to enable the timely progression of the projects assigned and (b) work under pressure.
• Build excellent working relationships with internal and external stakeholders.
• Other responsibilities may be assigned.
