Stevenage, United Kingdom The IET Full time

What if you contributed to influencing the global engineering community?

What if you worked in a team that advised government and policymakers on matters relating to engineering and technology?

What if you were our Policy Advisor?

At the IET, making our world a better place starts by creating a better place for our people. At the IET you’ll have more than just a job. Our work is exciting and challenging, connecting the people who solve the problems that matter. It means working with us has real meaning and impact, and you’ll grow - professionally and personally - in ways you never thought possible. We’re also making significant investments in our people, including providing a modern, vibrant workplace and embracing hybrid working.

**What you’ll be doing**

As a Policy Officer joining the Policy and Insight team, you will work closely with Policy Advisors and Managers to formulate impactful policy responses and develop positions on key issues. Your role will extend to providing support in policy and public affairs within our key areas: design and manufacturing, energy, digital, transport, healthcare, innovation, and skills. Your responsibilities will involve leading research initiatives, stakeholder mapping, working closely with volunteers to develop comprehensive policy documents, and organising targeted events for our primary stakeholders, such as government, academia, and industry.

**We’d love to get to know you**

Is Imposter syndrome creeping in?

- Identify policy areas and contribute to policy thinking,
- Drafting material from project group and panel activities including reports, briefings and presentations.

- Work closely with the Public Affairs, Content, Strategic Marketing, and Communications teams to plan the development and release of information to help maxmise the impact of our policy and insight outputs.
- Help shape our engagement with key public policy events and discussions and coordinate impactful roundtables and workshops in response to requests for engineering input into a range of policy challenges.
- Support the IET’s work in Public Affairs, including stakeholder mapping, identifying political campaigns and increasing relations between politicians and the IET.
- Comply with departmental processes including monthly reporting on KPIs, contribution to team meetings, responsibility for budget within their areas, formal consultation processes, volunteer registers, and financial processes.
- Support voluntary panels and their members.
- Undertake any other duties and projects as required.

**A little more about what we’re looking for**
