• Oversee content development — from policy briefings and reports to media statements and opinion articles.

What You’ll Bring

• 5-10 years’ experience in public affairs, strategic communications, or policy advisory, ideally within an agency.
• Proven experience in a regulated industry; knowledge of regulation and corporate reputation issues.
• Understanding of the UK political system, with an active network across Parliament, regulators and trade bodies.
• Strong writing, analytical and presentation skills, plus a proactive, commercial mindset.

Why Apply?
