Full Fact fights bad information. We’re recruiting for a Policy Manager (Misinformation) to maximise our influence over how government and public bodies address the harms of bad information.

Reporting to Full Fact’s Policy Lead, the role will be pivotal in shaping and advocating for Full Fact’s policy positions and achieving real-world change through legislation and regulatory frameworks. This is a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of technology, misinformation, digital skills and artificial intelligence. You will be responsible for policy development and outreach on Full Fact’s work on the Online Safety Act, media literacy and promoting our work on Artificial Intelligence with decision makers.

The role holder will balance both the policy development and the policy outreach, holding relationships with a variety of stakeholders across Parliament, Whitehall and civil society partners.

Full Fact’s work has an impact. We obtain corrections from Prime Ministers, other senior politicians and MPs. We influence policy and practice on online misinformation and related issues. We drive forward solutions to misinformation rooted in evidence, including from our fact checking. Recent policy wins include securing a House of Commons procedure change so that all MPs can correct the record, and legislative changes in the Online Safety Bill to improve media literacy, including on misinformation.

If you are interested in applying but not sure you have all the skills, please do apply. We are open both to supporting learning on the job and to rearranging tasks within the team to suit the skillsets of the best applicant.
