Job Details

Trust in institutions is falling, public debate is polarised, and too many people feel democracy no longer delivers for them. As trust declines, participation drops, discourse hardens and institutions struggle to respond. This is the democratic doom loop. At Demos, our mission is to upgrade democracy in the UK and build a system powered by trusting relationships, information and technology, fit for our times. We are designing the practical foundations of a new deal between citizen, state and the institutions that shape daily lives.

Events and external affairs are at the heart of Demos’s mission to upgrade democracy. This role will suit a candidate who combines excellent event management skills with a genuine interest in UK politics and public policy. You will work as part of a collaborative team, taking end-to-end ownership of event planning and delivery while building and maintaining relationships with parliamentarians, their offices, senior stakeholders and partner organisations. Reporting to the Engagement Manager within the Impact Team, you will be involved in the full breadth of Demos’s impact in the world.
