• Experience of leading or senior management in an advocacy, campaigning or policy organisation

• Strong communication skills including the ability to represent the organisation effectively in public forums and the media.

• A strong knowledge and understanding of current political and public policy issues and debates around climate and the environment.

• Understanding of the Labour Party and the labour movement and relationships with key figures within both.

• Ability to build excellent relationships with the environmental sector,  business and the media.

• Understanding and knowledge of the administrative, financial and legislative requirements of managing a political organisation.

• Experience working in a membership organisation.

This crucial role is part of the growing team we are recruiting to deliver on our policy and campaigning priorities.
