ClientEarth teams across the world are using the power of the law to build a future for our planet in which people and nature can thrive together. We hold governments and companies to account on their environmental obligations and we work to ensure that effective laws are in place that protect all people and planet. Our legal work does not exist in a vacuum and this role will help to ensure that we build the necessary political and stakeholder support to increase the impact and effectiveness of our actions.

As we continue to expand our work across the globe, you will lead our organisational-level public affairs work, provide expert counsel to senior leaders and regional experts, and oversee the development of a policy unit to develop global policy positions on over-arching issues relating to our work.

Role requirements

• Experience of developing public affairs and political strategies that support organisational strategy, and which delivers demonstrable positive impact
• Experience of national-level political engagement in multiple countries and regions
• Extensive knowledge and understanding of politics in key jurisdictions, such as the UK, EU, US, Germany

Our flexible working policy allows our people the choice to decide to work from home in the country where their contract of employment is issued for 80% of their month, with the other 20% of their month being office-based.

ClientEarth values diversity and inclusion and the benefits this brings. We aim to appoint the most suitable candidate at all times and welcome applications from people from all different backgrounds.
