What You Will Be Doing

Some of the key responsibilities include:

• Evidence Synthesis - Lead evidence synthesis for guideline development by consulting on PICO questions, developing systematic reviews, and preparing evidence profiles. Conduct literature searches, critical appraisals, and data analysis, assessing bias in studies. Present findings systematically to support recommendations and prepare materials for guideline panel meetings, while also aiding in the publication and dissemination of guidelines.
• Reporting – Act as a key liaison point and subject matter expert in relation to project progress and objectives. Including working with the Senior Program Manager and other key stakeholders to coordinate workstream inputs, provide regular updates to the evidence synthesis team and to manage the preparation of evidence for consideration by the Guideline Development group.
• Research and analysis - Undertake research and analysis, devise solutions and provide practical and expert advice to senior management to address complex project related issues. 
• Engagement with key stakeholders - develop and maintain strong partnerships with key project stakeholders and undertake networking to support project objectives by networking, liaising, presenting information and coordinating or attending stakeholder meetings.
• Risk Management - identify and report on risks and issues relating to projects and implement and monitor risk mitigation strategies.
