Can you make data tell a story?
We are looking for a new analyst who can help us get to grips with complex issues and produce clear, incisive evidence for decision makers.
Thought leadership is one of Green Alliance’s defining activities, initiating debates and bringing new perspectives to challenging environmental issues. We do this by exploring issues from original angles and presenting information in compelling and relevant formats. Our analysts conduct research and interpret data from a range of sources to inform our insights and recommendations on environmental policy.
You will work on high profile, sometimes multi-partner projects, and will mainly be focused on our natural environment theme which covers food, farming, land use and nature policy. There may also be the opportunity to work on our other themes of low carbon, resources and green economy.
Curious and inquiring, you will want to seek out and interrogate the best, most credible evidence. You will have excellent attention to detail, a rigorous approach to problem solving and accuracy, and the ability to work on several projects at once. You will have strong writing skills and be able to create copy that explains concepts to a non-scientific audience clearly and concisely. Your data analysis and synthesis skills might have been developed in another field, but you will have a deep interest in environmental issues and Green Alliance’s policy themes.
Green Alliance is a charity, independent think tank and advocate, committed to achieving a greener future. We believe that ambitious political leadership is the route to change at the speed and scale necessary.
We play a central role in shaping the natural environment, energy and resources policy agendas in the UK and are known for our cross party influence and the clarity of our insights.
The high quality of our work, our experienced team and our collaborative approach have enabled us to develop excellent relationships at the highest levels, with political parties, businesses, NGOs and academia.
We are a dedicated team, passionately committed to achieving positive outcomes for the environment. We aim to create a supportive and collaborative culture that allows people to reach their full potential, we aim to provide an inclusive working environment where diversity is valued and everyone is able to thrive.
At Green Alliance we believe that a diverse team leads to higher quality policy development and advocacy for the environment. We value the breadth of lived experience of our staff and support people to thrive. We encourage applications from all sections of society, particularly those from working-class backgrounds and people of colour who are under-represented in the environment and think tank sectors, to help us achieve our vision of a green and prosperous UK for all.
Please note that we can only accept applications from individuals with the right to work in the UK. We are unable to sponsor working visa applications.
Please see the job pack for more details and how to apply.
Please note: CVs will not be accepted.
