  • 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

  • Ownership of the Warden brand and how it evolves, including a website refresh and a revised brand identity

  • A thoughtful, strategic, organised thinker with high attention to detail
  • 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
  • A feel for movements, and you understand that persuading an industry to adopt a shared standard is a different craft from persuading a buyer to sign
