- Stakeholder Engagement: Facilitate communication with stakeholders, including insurers, regulators, and policymakers, capturing feedback and aligning project goals with stakeholder needs.
- Platform Development Oversight: Collaborate closely with vendors and technical teams to oversee platform hosting, development, and integration, especially with GIS and mapping technologies, knowledge commons, and data visualisation features.
