Junior Policy Analyst
DeHavilland is the leading provider of political insight and intelligence, supplying public affairs professionals with the information and analysis they need to react to and influence government policy. Our clients include major players across financial services, tech and digital, manufacturing, healthcare, infrastructure, energy and government.
We pride ourselves on our service, which is underpinned by powerful technology and brought to life by a team of talented people. It’s fast-paced and fun, covering both the big drama of politics and the small detail of the policies that really change lives.
As a Junior Policy Analyst, you will be the main point of contact for a portfolio of clients, providing timely and relevant political information, live coverage and excellent customer service. You’ll support Analysts, Senior Analysts and Lead Analysts across portfolios, and work closely with colleagues in your team as well as across the business to deliver updates and insights. Junior Analysts also work with the commercial team to ensure clients receive the service they expect, supporting renewals and trial conversions.
This role is an ideal entry point into the client-facing side of our policy team, where you’ll gain experience in delivering political intelligence while developing commercial awareness and client relationship skills.
