• Advise on strategies to enhance circularity, including design for repairability, reuse models, and recycling technologies for electrical and electronic products.
• Develop robust policy proposals, including defining issues, generating options, sourcing evidence, engaging stakeholders, and preparing papers and presentations for senior decision-makers.
• Contribute to strategic planning, situating EEE-related work within the wider circular economy roadmap and supporting long-term goals for resource efficiency and net zero.
• Engage with stakeholders across manufacturers, recyclers, repair networks, and regulators, building consensus and supporting practical implementation of policy changes.
• Bring innovation and constructive challenge, introducing new ideas and approaches to improve EEE recycling and reuse systems.
• Share specialist knowledge by upskilling team members through mentoring, workshops, and technical guidance.
• Provide clear, evidence-based advice and briefings to senior leaders, translating complex technical detail into actionable recommendations.
• Work collaboratively within an interdisciplinary team, supporting a one-team ethos and integrating perspectives from policy, technical, and delivery colleagues.
