• Establish a disciplined engagement model with government agencies by setting agendas, pacing discussions, and prioritising topics with the highest strategic and financial impact.
• Drive alignment across multi‑agency forums, positioning SATS’ long‑term vision and securing support beyond individual projects.
• Strengthen and sustain SATS’ credibility and senior‑level relationships with policymakers, managing engagements with stakeholders significantly senior in experience and authority.

Grant structuring, negotiation & delivery

• Structure, negotiate, and deliver complex grant proposals, ensuring clear scope, milestones, and terms that maximise value and execution certainty for SATS.
• Partner closely with internal stakeholders (e.g. operations, HC, legal, finance, technology) to ensure grant proposals and strategic discussions are grounded in executable plans and business outcomes.
• Track funding pipelines, milestones, and commitments to ensure delivery against agreed objectives and unlock subsequent tranches of support.

Strategy externalisation & enterprise enablement

• Translate SATS’ corporate and functional strategies into clear, compelling external narratives for government readbacks, enabling alignment and sustained institutional support across multiple initiatives.
• Support the Group Strategy function by synthesizing inputs from business units and functional teams into coherent strategy materials for leadership and external stakeholders.
