• Manage several projects and workstreams in parallel, setting priorities and allocating resources across teams
• Act as the main point of contact for EU clients, including inception, interim and final reporting in line with contractual requirements

• Organise and steer working groups, expert panels and stakeholder consultations
• Oversee the planning and quality of systematic reviews, GRADE assessments, guideline development and quality indicator work, in close collaboration with methodologists
