This is an exciting opportunity to join the Communication and External Affairs team at the Public Law Project as our Public Affairs Manager.

As we enter an election year, our Public Affairs Manager will play a leading role in advocating for fairer immigration and welfare systems, meaningful access to justice, rules on AI that prevent misuse by Government, a positive vision for human rights, and a constitution that promotes accountability.

The successful candidate will develop and implement a public affairs strategy and work closely with research and casework teams to shape policy and stakeholder opinion to advance our goals.

As you grow our influencing capacity and practice, you will need to develop excellent working relationships across the organisation. You will already have at least 2-3 years of working in a public affairs role and either be an existing manager or someone who is ready to take the next step up.

You will have experience of building relationships with senior stakeholders in Parliament, Government and civil society, be confident working across multiple, complex policy issues, and have excellent political understanding and judgement.

You will have a keen interest in our work, some understanding of public law, social justice and constitutional reform, and a strong desire to affect change.

This is a permanent post. PLP supports flexible working practices and whilst this post is conceived as a full-time role, part-time hours will also be considered for the right candidate.

As part of our commitment to recruiting fairly we use anonymised-selection processes until interview. We also offer additional interview opportunities to the highest-scoring candidates from under-represented communities, and use ‘tie-breaker’ provisions at all stages of our selection process.
