You will support the delivery of UKSIF’s Public Affairs programme, building on our existing advocacy activities in the UK, as part of our Public Affairs team. Working closely with UKSIF members and likeminded organisations in sustainable finance, you will support the drive to a more sustainable finance system and to achieving the UK’s sustainability goals, ensuring that our calls for policy and regulatory change are heard and ultimately delivered to help enact UKSIF’s vision for a more sustainable future.

The Public Affairs Manager will support the development and delivery of UKSIF’s public affairs strategy, ensuring it is focused on delivering strong public policy outcomes. The postholder will ensure sustainable finance issues are prioritised both in Parliament, at the highest levels of government, and by regulators. Our public affairs strategy includes: regular meetings and briefings with politicians, reports and research, legislative contributions such as amendments to proposed legislation, events in Westminster and a presence at party conferences.

Furthermore, you will help to drive consistent and evidence-based political messaging from across the sustainable finance community and wider stakeholders (e.g., investor groups, think tanks and academia). This includes working with third-party partner organisations to co-ordinate messaging, develop prioritised campaign areas outlining the key policy changes we wish to see, developing the evidence base for these changes (including with polling firms and other partners) and ensuring these messages are communicated to government, opposition parties, media and other key stakeholders in a clear and consistent way.

You will also support the Head of Public Affairs and Communications to liaise with UKSIF’s funding partners for this work, including the creating impact reports and coordinating future funding. You will also actively engage with UKSIF members on key issues.
