  • Demonstrable interest and experience in environmental policy
  • Strong qualitative, quantitative, and analytical skills
  • Skills in economic analysis and appraisal, impact assessment, evaluation, and/or environmental economics
  • Good understanding of UK and/or European policy-making processes
  • Relevant professional experience of at least 5 years within the context of UK or EU public policy in a related field
  • Business development experience, including contributing to proposals/grant applications, would be an advantage
  • Advanced computer user skills (Microsoft applications)
  • Exceptional writing skills
  • Excellent oral and written English; fluency in at least one additional European language an advantage
  • Highly-developed interpersonal skills and self-motivation
  • High level of attention to detail and accuracy
