Job Details

Do you want to work for a global professional membership organisation where you will be able to see the tangible impact of your work on the world we all live in? If so, we could be the organisation for you. We are the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB), and we are at the heart of a management career in construction. We are the world's largest and most influential professional body for construction management and leadership, and we are tasked with promoting good practice within our industry to improve quality of life for every one of us.

As our Head of Policy and Public Affairs, you’ll be right at the heart of all of this, playing a critical role in driving forward our Policy and Public Affairs engagement on a national and global scale. If you are looking for a role where you can make a real impact and get involved with issues such as modern slavery or our work on quality within the construction industry, then this could be the role for you.

Here are some of the key things you’ll get involved with;

  • Developing, managing and implementing our policy and public affairs strategy, ensuring that this is consistently aligned with our vision, values and our corporate plan.
  • Implementing evidence-informed policy, public affairs and campaigns activity.
  • Representing the CIOB in the public domain, raising the profile of the Institute and our work whilst generating new and relevant policy activities.
  • Operational management of the policy and public affairs department – from developing and managing a fantastic team of people to looking after the department’s budget and processes.

We will be looking for you to bring to the role demonstrable experience in a policy or public affairs role, where you will have been involved in generating thought leadership and influencing government policy. You will also have a strong understanding of UK government processes, and an ability to cross-examine policy development. It goes without saying that you’ll need strong communication and networking skills, the ability to develop and manage an excellent team, and will be able to deal with a busy and often competing workload. And whilst experience operating a professional body environment or an understanding of the construction and built environment sector would be fantastic, they are by no means essential.
