• Work flexibly across teams in the Directorate as required.

• Good strategic planning and organisational skills to lead agenda planning, minute‑taking and action identification for LPB and committees.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills for policy and strategy development and management.
• Excellent attention to detail for accurate minute‑taking and action tracking.
• Knowledge and understanding of the Commissioner’s New Met for London Plan and associated corporate risks.

• Strong IT skills, especially Microsoft Word and Excel.
• Ability to work under pressure and manage a high volume of work on short timescales.
