Salary expectation: £42,748 to £47,432
Contract: Full time
Application deadline: Thursday 3rd September

About the Role

We are looking for a highly skilled individual who will help build on our relationships and networks across Westminster, to deliver ambitious political leadership on a range of issues. The postholder will be responsible for leading advocacy interventions and providing political support to our policy experts, with a focus on Transport and Resources policy.

As a Senior Political Adviser within the politics team, you will also be involved with, and lead on, major projects or themes of work across the political leadership theme – including the All Party Parliamentary Group on the Environment (APPG), for which Green Alliance holds the secretariat – managing and developing key external relationships and supporting the Director of Politics as they lead the politics team.

The role entails identifying and leading on opportunities for the UK government to achieve environmental progress and implementing advocacy strategies to secure it. You will have direct access to senior policy makers and environmental leaders, so will need to articulate recommendations succinctly and persuasively.

About You

You will need to be an exceptional communicator, adept at bringing people together around a shared vision, and have the interpersonal skills to inspire and work across Green Alliance and liaise with our extensive network of partners.

You will be a highly organised, capable multi-tasker with experience managing projects, able to think on your feet while managing multiple relationships and advocating plans concurrently.

The role requires excellent understanding of UK political processes (especially in Westminster, Parliament and Whitehall) and experience of using that understanding to influence policy effectively. Experience of operating within the system, or of working directly with politicians and the media to achieve policy change, would be a distinct advantage.
