About
The Role
The Public Affairs and Policy Manager plays a key role in delivering a dynamic public affairs programme, engaging cross‑party parliamentarians and managing a strong network of over 100 parliamentary champions. Working closely with colleagues and external partners, you’ll develop and implement strategies to influence government policy, organise high‑impact events, and produce compelling briefings and materials.
You’ll also work with our diverse coalition of members to mobilise collective action, ensuring their voices help shape and drive policy change. Alongside this, you’ll oversee agency support and ensure public affairs activity is effectively integrated with wider communications and campaigning.
We’re looking for an experienced policy professional who is excellent at stakeholder engagement across all levels, with a strong understanding of public affairs, parliamentary processes, and public health policy. You’ll be a confident relationship builder, able to work collaboratively across sectors and manage multiple priorities in a fast‑paced environment.
