• Produce and oversee high-quality briefings, correspondence, presentations and stakeholder materials.

What we’re looking for:
• Demonstrable experience in public affairs, politics, Parliament or a related field.
• Strong knowledge of UK politics, Parliament and the policymaking process.

• Strong written communication skills, including experience producing concise and persuasive briefings.
