Job Details

Are you fascinated by politics? Do you keep track of the news? Are you keen to learn new skills and develop knowledge of a range of policy areas?

If this sounds interesting then Lexington Communications, the UK’s largest independent public affairs agency, would like to hear from you. We are looking for bright, inquisitive, politically engaged graduates to work in our political intelligence team.

The team provides analysis of political events internally and to a range of Lexington clients. We look at everything from debates and questions in Parliament, to Government announcements and consultations, to developments in the wider political world. We actively use social media and we are particularly keen to hear from people who are familiar with Twitter.

The person: While political experience is desirable, the most important attribute is a passion for politics. You should enjoy working in a lively, busy team and be comfortable managing a variety of tasks. It is important that you are adaptable in your approach to tasks and interested in developing new ways of working. You will be educated to degree level.

The position is a fixed-term contract for nine months. There is the possibility of a permanent role at the end of the contract.
