About the Role
We’re 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 post holder will be responsible for leading advocacy interventions and providing political support to our policy experts, with a focus on Transport and Resources policy.
Responsibilities
- 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), which Green Alliance holds the secretariat for), managing and developing key external relationships and supporting the Director of politics as they lead the politics team.
- Identify and lead on opportunities for the UK government to achieve environmental progress and implement advocacy strategies to secure it.
- Have direct access to senior policy makers and environmental leaders, so you will need to articulate recommendations succinctly and persuasively.
