About you
You are a confident action-oriented communicator with a strong sense of ownership. You are as comfortable developing marketing strategies as day‑to‑day execution of communications plans.
You will likely bring:
- At least 3‑4 years’ experience in senior communications or marketing roles.
- Strong writing skills across communications or policy content.
- Experience engaging senior stakeholders or external partners.
- Experience delivering campaigns and/or external events.
- A proactive, can‑do mindset with strong organisational skills.
- Ability to connect communications activity to growth and impact.
- Good judgement on tone, positioning and reputational risk.
- Understanding of political or regulatory context (desirable).
Working arrangements
We are a predominantly remote organisation operating across multiple shared office spaces, including locations in London, rather than from a single permanent office.
This role requires in‑person attendance in London approximately two days per week, scheduled according to organisational need. This may involve attending events, external meetings or colleague collaboration. This is an ongoing expectation rather than occasional travel.
There will also be a full team day in London once per month, and occasional travel elsewhere in the UK for events or meetings.
We operate as a dispersed team, working flexibly while coming together in person where collaboration and member activity require it. Candidates should be comfortable working independently while maintaining a consistent in‑person London presence.
