  • Support and deliver webinars, podcasts, newsletters to our client and partner communities, demonstrating our marketing-leading capabilities and insights;
  • Participate in industry technical advisory and working groups with the aim of providing experience-led influence and bringing insights into Climate Impact Partners.
