Foreign Affairs Adviser

Join our dynamic team of Political Advisers at this exciting moment, following our historic General Election result, to lead on Foreign Affairs and Defence and develop election-winning policies, messages and campaigns for the Liberal Democrats.

You will work closely with the Party Leader, the Foreign Affairs Spokesperson, the Defence spokesperson and other key spokespeople, as well as colleagues in the party’s communications, policy and campaigns teams and in both Houses of Parliament.

You will have responsibility for certain policy issues, primarily Foreign Affairs, and help to ensure we take the right positions by building relationships with external organisations and helping to formulate new policies.

You will help spokespeople to craft and deliver effective messages to communicate both our policies and our values to the public.

We are looking for someone with very good knowledge of UK politics, an understanding of campaigning, the media and how Parliament works and sound political judgement. You will need to be able to juggle competing priorities and deliver at speed.

We strongly encourage applications from candidates who would need to work flexibly or remotely. Applications are especially encouraged from people in groups that are under-represented in politics.
