About Public First
Public First is a specialist consultancy, helping charities, philanthropists, public sector bodies and global brands improve public policy. Based in London, we have worked in more than thirty international markets. We are part think tank, part strategic consultancy, part polling company, and part communications agency. In other words, we bring together the different disciplines that make policy happen and work.

Working in the Tech, Media & Telecoms Practice, you’ll help to deliver policy, campaigns and impact projects. You will deepen your knowledge of the political landscape surrounding tech policy, help to analyse public opinion insights, and bring new research to life for our clients.

Our recent projects have included:

• Exploring hybrid working trends in the UK with Zoom, Vodafone and Indeed.
• Measuring the economic impact of Google in Canada.
• Examining trends in consumer attitudes and behaviours towards news, sport, entertainment and connectivity with Sky.
• Analysing public opinion about artificial intelligence in the US.

The Role
We are currently looking to recruit a Policy Analyst to work across all of our projects. This is the ideal first or second job for a bright individual who is interested in working in tech, media, and telecommunications policy. You may be someone who has recently graduated with a relevant degree or has spent one or two years in a political or numerically literate role.

In this role you would:

• Keep up to date on emerging tech, media, and telecommunications policies and trends.
• Conduct rapid desk research on specific policies, programmes and projects.
• Work with colleagues to deliver quantitative and qualitative public opinion research.
• Convey thoughtful analysis of your findings in clear, compelling prose.
• Provide administrative support to ongoing projects.
• Liaise with clients in a professional and organised manner.
• Assist with new business generation.
