• Assess and coordinate engagements to promote HPB’s thought leadership at local and international platforms, including conferences, training programs, and visits, along with staff administrative and logistical preparations.
• Coordinate and support study visits to align with strategy and business needs.

You should also possess:

• Strong analytical and critical thinking skills, with the ability to synthesize large amounts of information quickly.
• Meticulous attention to detail.
• Strong interpersonal skills, capable of engaging with stakeholders at all levels and working effectively both independently and in teams.
