The manager and team leader jobs we advertise are normally related to policy-making, so it’s preferable that candidates have a background in either policy, government or research. Managers and team leaders will be expected to have experience in negotiation, procurement, and writing communications and reports. They must also understand budgeting and resource management.

Many government departments and ministries are only interested in employing managers and team leaders who have prior experience working in government. However, managers with relevant commercial experience and transferable skills can also find positions in government.
