  • Support the leadership team by organizing and preparing for meetings with institutional stakeholders; act as spokesperson when required or coach others to do so.
  • Maintain ongoing communication with internal departments to understand their institutional needs and support them in aligning with external partners.
  • Ensure Fever is actively represented in key forums, public consultations, or sector-specific roundtables.
  • Identify and propose opportunities for public-private collaboration, co-branded initiatives, or strategic alliances with public impact.
  • Create briefings, policy position papers, and institutional decks tailored to each stakeholder group.
