- Contribute to the GFA news agenda by coordinating or drafting articles related to e.g., key projects, personnel announcements, employee stories and administration of new posts.
- Support GFA internal event management and employee award cycle, and manage our GFA homepage.

You will bring:

- Strong analytical skills and passion for dealing with large sets of data.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to articulate ideas and present sophisticated analyses to senior leaders.
