* Building and managing a comprehensive network of science media contacts to increase the number of channels available for sharing our science work with target audiences, ensuring this is aligned with wider RSPB media objectives.

* Ensuring alignment with RSPB Brand Guidelines and fostering strong collaborations with colleagues across Conservation Science, Global Conservation, Digital Technology & Communications, and UK Countries Directorates. This collaboration ensures that our scientific communications embody brand trust, understanding, nurture passion, drive action, and define the RSPB's unique identity.

* Recognising and helping the News & Media and PR & Reputation teams to mitigate issues that may give rise to reputational damage to the RSPB.

* Demonstrating good judgement when working with stakeholders, recognising sensitive areas and the need for appropriate discretion, to maintain reputation and confidentiality.

Essential skills, knowledge and experience:

* Communications - listening, written and verbal: Able to communicate complex topics in a clear manner at all levels to develop shared understanding.

* Judgement and decision-making: Able to define and clarify a complex situation through gathering facts and evidence, recognising risks, evaluating options to
