• The messaging architecture behind Warden Assured, translating a rigorous technical standard into language that a CEO, a journalist and a job candidate can each make sense of
• Getting the words right, which here means testing what actually lands with a sceptical buyer, a regulator or a candidate, and rewriting until it does
• Ownership of the Warden brand and how it evolves, including a website refresh and a revised brand identity
• Movement-building
• Supporting the Warden Assured coalition of nonprofit and advocacy partners as a genuine industry movement rather than a marketing program

• You are a genuinely strong writer and storyteller, able to take something abstract and technical and make a stranger care about it, including the lived experience at the heart of this work
