- Acting as the initial touch point for media, MLA offices and key stakeholders, particularly related to issues that may arise
- Leading Issues and Media Relations team including performance planning, assessment, feedback, and development of direct reports
- Managing, guiding and coaching team members in media relations and issues management best practices
