• Solid financial acumen, including budget monitoring and grant or payment administration.
• Strong written communication skills, with the ability to adapt tone and style across correspondence, reporting, and stakeholder engagement.
• High computer proficiency, including Excel and CRM/database systems.
• Willingness to travel domestically if required.
• Willingness to comply with MMT's Safeguarding Policy, including a criminal record check or equivalent statutory declaration.
