- Demonstrated success in relationship management, stakeholder engagement, business development or industry development.
- Exceptional interpersonal skills and an ability to build trust with a diverse range of people.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Confidence engaging with business owners, government,



tourism organisations and commercial partners.
