York North Yorkshire, United Kingdom The Joseph Rowntree Foundation Full time

York/London/Hybrid - willing to discuss flexible working from other locations, but you will need to be able to attend either York or London office a minimum of two days per week. Permanent, Full Time (35 hours per week)
JRFs Insight & Policy Team seek to move and shape the UK policy debate, in support of JRFs mission to speed up the transition to a more equitable and just future, free from poverty, where people and planet can flourish. Our policy & ideas work looks to address both the immediacy of hardship and inequality as well as the deeper social and economic forces and conditions on which they rest.
We are seeking an outstanding individual to lead JRFs work on Macroeconomic and Fiscal policy. You will lead the design, assembly and execution of programmes of work that generate arguments, policies and ideas to address the social and economic challenges that underpin household economic insecurity in the UK today and chart a course to a different and better future.
As a Principal Policy Adviser , you will seek out and connect with people or organisations developing new ideas and strategies that can contribute to our mission. You will take responsibility for how JRF should use its platform and resources to support their development and diffusion and lead the projection of this work externally, in ways that seek to shape the national conversation, influence power and decision making at the highest levels, build alliances and partnerships (including backing experimentation and real-world alternatives) and nurture the seeds of longer-range shifts in thinking and action.
You will have a deep knowledge and expertise on issues of fiscal policy and macroeconomics, and how these policy areas relate to the causes and consequence of poverty and wider household economic insecurity and the social and economic conditions on which they rest.
With a sophisticated understanding of how policymaking works across the UK, devolved and sub-national governments (both on paper and in practice), you will need experience of advocating and influencing at very senior levels (e.g. via political, government or stakeholder engagement, plus broadcast, print and social media) and highly developed awareness of, and engagement with, relevant political, policy and intellectual debates, plus models and approaches to social change.
You will have a strong understanding of how a range of analytical tools and methods can be used to understand and grapple with a policy issue (both quantitative and experiential) and be able to think critically and creatively, analyse and problem solve, generate original ideas, and explore new and alternative ways of approaching an issue.
Able to master and explore complex policy dilemmas, drawing on key literature, research evidence, leading-edge practice and everyday experience, you will be able to spot promising new ideas, emerging talent and alternative perspectives beyond JRF, and to find ways to back that work where it contributes to our mission.
The Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) is a highly regarded independent social change organisation, working to support and speed up the transition to a more equitable and just future, free from poverty, where people and planet can flourish.
We make grants and invest extensively in projects and partner organisations which are working to achieve the same goals. Through research, policy, collaboration and practical solutions, JRF aims to inspire action and change that will create a prosperous UK without poverty.
