To strengthen ATNI’s new strategy (2023-2027) — and in particular its Policy workstream — ATNI seeks a Senior Policy Manager. Evidence-based policy is central to market transformation that drives availability, access, and consumption of healthier foods. ATNI’s 5-year strategy highlights policy as a requisite driver of change and impact. Policies that improve diets and private sector engagement are in scope, as well as both public (government) and private (company) policies (e.g. fiscal policies; ESG regulatory policies; regulating lobbying).

Together with the ATNI staff, external consultants and strategic partners, the Senior Policy Manager will play a role in developing ATNI’s new Policy workstream. This will include developing ATNI’s policy strategy, mapping strategic alliances, developing/maintaining strategic relationships with policy makers, growing the ATNI platform for stimulating debate on nutrition policies, following international and national policy processes and advise on the policy angle of existing and future projects.

Day-to-day activities include liaising with the team, donors and partners to understand policy needs that will drive impact, and where ATNI could play a role. It will include building up institutional knowledge of nutrition policies, deepening relationships with existing partners and establishing new partnerships to collaborate, map and monitor policy processes. Additionally, it includes developing new relationships with policy institutions and linking up with project managers to maximise the policy impact of ATNI and its projects.

The Senior Policy Manager will be the lead on the Policy workstream that is a new workstream for ATNI and will focus on developing a policy strategy and developing this segment. The role of the Manager is tightly integrated within ATNI as part of a matrix structure.

The Senior Policy Manager will report directly to the Executive Director, and work closely with the Research Director, communications team and project teams.

This is a unique opportunity to have a substantial positive impact on improving global health by helping to fundamentally shape the nutrition standards and practices of the food industry and the data being used by stakeholders including investors.
