Science Communications Officer Cover Letter

I would like to put forward my application for the role of Science Communications Officer.

Firstly, I would like to make it clear that I understand this role specifies a masters as a necessary requirement, which I do not possess, however I would still like to make a case for my suitability in relation to the position described.

Through my current position as the Standards Team Administrator, I have developed numerous skills which are heavily transferrable to this role; this includes an excellent computer proficiency on all programs listed within the description, along with becoming especially proficient on SharePoint. This has led me to beginning my own project to optimise the Science and Standards (S&S) team site. I have also run a number of important events efficiently, incorporating company tools such as WebEx, and within the process have been engaging with important stakeholders from the Technical Advisory Body to Conformity Assessment Bodies building an excellent rapport. I have continued these relationships outside the meetings by interacting with these groups and other stakeholders by answering any queries they have or directing them to the right individual within the team.

Due to this, I have been privileged enough to have been heavily involved in the majority or current projects on the floor from the Seaweed Standard to the ITM process. This trait has been developed through my time within recruitment, where client relationships had to be established and then continually managed to get the most from the partnership. Being comfortable with this form of interaction, I have been involved in the further training of other staff on a number of the different tools used by MSC, and have continued to look at new ways to build capacity
