We are looking to appoint a new senior policy adviser to the Commission’s policy team. The role will suit someone with existing experience in policy development as well as demonstrable skills in analysing complex evidence and data and rigorously assessing its value, and also communicating their subsequent findings and recommendations effectively to senior colleagues, policy makers and stakeholders.

Applicants will also have experience of being able to drive forward work using appropriate project management skills to deliver high quality products; a broad understanding of one or more infrastructure sectors will also be beneficial.

The role – based out of our Leeds office – will initially be as part of our environment team; however, the successful candidate can expect to be involved in programmes across the secretariat as we continue to develop existing work streams arising from the second National Infrastructure Assessment, as well as respond to any changing priorities after the election.

Closing date for applications is Sunday 14 July 2024. More information about the role and recruitment process can be found on Civil Service Jobs.
