Who We Are

  • External Engagement & Influence – Represent CATF with European institutions, national governments, funders, industry leaders, media, and other high-level stakeholders.
  • Operational & Resource Management – Steward regional resources, including team planning, budgets, consultant support, and priority-setting across European initiatives.

What You’ll Bring
