Edina Communications is a tactical, data-driven political communications consultancy working with parties, campaigns and organisations across the United Kingdom and Europe. Our work ranges from campaign strategy and management to the technical delivery that campaigns often lack, including audience targeting, data and CRM, personalised messaging and digital campaigning.

This is a junior post in a small consultancy, reporting directly to the Director. The successful candidate will work across the full range of our activity, from strategy and campaign management to delivery, on national, European and local campaigns. Business development is a significant part of the role, and the successful candidate will be expected to bring in and look after new clients.

Responsibilities include:

• Supporting the development of campaign strategy and the management of client campaigns.
• Helping clients to design, set up and run their campaigns.
• Drafting and designing campaign materials, and operating the technology and data systems behind them.
• Managing projects day to day and ensuring that deadlines are met.
• Identifying and approaching prospective clients, particularly smaller and local organisations.
• Onboarding new clients and running their accounts.
• Preparing client reports and pitch material, and representing Edina at meetings and events.

Essential requirements:

• Practical campaign experience beyond leafleting and canvassing. Voluntary experience is acceptable, but policy experience alone is not.
• A sound understanding of British and European politics.
• A willingness to work beyond your comfort zone and to take on unfamiliar work at short notice.
• The ability to work effectively with people under pressure.
• A working understanding of AI tools and their use in campaigns.
• Confidence with data and a willingness to learn new technical systems.
• The right to work in the UK and the ability to work abroad for extended periods.

Experience of graphic design, photography and video, website design in HTML, or NationBuilder would be an advantage.

The post is hybrid, with regular attendance in London required. Hours are irregular and include evenings and weekends during live campaigns. The package includes 28 days' annual leave inclusive of public holidays, a workplace pension and bonuses.
