- Conduct desktop research and compile background information to support high‑quality technical reporting.
- Track regulatory commitments and support responses to regulator information requests under the guidance of senior staff.
- Help manage project schedules, deliverables, and internal review processes, keeping projects organized and on track.
The Skills That Set You Apart
