- Supporting wider national security governance and briefings as required, including on counter-terrorism (CT), serious and organised crime (SOC), and wider geopolitical workstreams.
- Supporting the secretariat function for the TSD internal Director-General chaired governance board.
- Building relationships and working with the internal comms team within DfT to deliver teach-ins and blogs with an aim to demystify national security for teams across DfT.
- Attending meetings both within the team and with cross-government peers and seniors, providing updates when required.
