Job Details
More in Common is seeking a full-time Political Assistant as we grow our team. We are a not -for-profit research agency and think tank working to bridge the gap between policymakers and the public, helping media, civil society and political leaders understand Britons who feel ignored or overlooked by those in power. We aim to amplify ordinary people’s voices and use public opinion research to help leaders navigate divides and build common ground. We are a small team (around 20 staff) with a start-up culture where everyone is expected to execute a range of responsibilities.
The role is for someone fascinated by UK politics and electoral dynamics. Do you enjoy thinking about the ins and outs of different constituencies in the UK, how various political parties are faring and the strategic implications of changing voter priorities and allegiances? Then this might be the role for you: it will focus on providing expert political commentary, analysis and advice about UK party politics and elections. You will have sound political judgement, be an outstanding communicator (in person and in writing) and be able to juggle multiple tasks and priorities at once.
