ABOUT THE ROLE
This is a 4-day p/w role, covering maternity leave. 

This role will involve strengthening BusinessLDN’s relationships with key political stakeholders – including the Government, London MPs, the Mayor, borough leaders and London Assembly members.

Delivering BusinessLDN’s day-to-day public affairs and stakeholder engagement activity, the post holder will work closely with colleagues across the policy, communications and campaigns team in delivering our engagement strategy. In a nutshell, we want to ensure that: opportunities to influence stakeholders on our priorities and campaigns are identified and delivered; messages are tailored to a political audience; our asks are clear and compelling; our members have a good view of our activity; broader stakeholders are engaged; and activity is tracked accurately to identify where we are performing well and not so well.

ABOUT THE CANDIDATE
You will be excited about working with key figures across London’s political spectrum to help deliver our mission. As a highly organised and motivated person, you will be comfortable working closely with senior figures both internally and externally to deliver our political engagement strategy. This will require strong communications skills and an ability to deliver good quality outputs at pace in a busy role.

ABOUT BUSINESSLDN
At BusinessLDN, our mission is to make London the best city in the world in which to do business, working with and for the whole UK. We work to deliver the bigger picture, campaigning to tackle today’s challenges and to secure the future promise of London. We harness the power of our members, from sectors that span the economy, to shape the future of the capital so Londoners thrive and businesses prosper. We support business to succeed — locally, nationally, globally. We link up with other cities around the UK, to ensure the capital supports a thriving country. We campaigned for the creation of the office of London Mayor and Transport for London, for the Elizabeth Line, for congestion charging, and we incubated Teach First.
