**Policy Engagement Lead**:
**Background**:

- The Centre for Disaster Protection works to prevent disasters devastating lives, by helping people, countries, and organisations change how they plan and pay for disasters. We focus on disaster risk financing to help ensure that money and plans are in place before a disaster strikes, so that the poorest and most vulnerable people are better protected. We are committed to work in partnerships across sectors and geographies to drive more impactful and more equitable disaster risk finance that leaves no one behind. Specifically, through a focus on:

- **Delivering excellent client outcomes and promoting lasting disaster risk finance expertise.** We provide clients with impartial and evidence-based advice, quality assurance and training that meets their needs and drives more effective disaster risk finance.
- **Quality evidence and learning.** We work to strengthen the evidence base for prearranged financing and document and share what shows the greatest potential to achieve system change.
- **Impactful communications and global policy engagement.** We seek to engage and influence through evidence-led policy and inclusive policy dialogue that bridges both ‘local to global’ and the humanitarian development climate nexus, targeting the bottlenecks key to effect transformative change of the international crisis financing architecture.

Additionally, we are focused on building effective systems and processes for people and operations that support the Centre to rapidly, yet strategically, scale and grow in a way that supports our people to do their best work through safe challenge, promoting and integrating diversity, equity and inclusion.

**The role**:
This role will shape the Centre for Disaster Protection’s engagement in global and regional policy processes and international fora, focusing on development and climate finance diplomacy and reform and engaging with a broad range of stakeholders, including governments, multilateral agencies, civil society networks, and others. The role will form a bridge between elements of our policy evidence work, external relations and engagement. Specifically, the role will help to translate evidence-led policy insights, through leading and shaping the Centre’s external affairs.

The Policy Engagement Lead will work closely with Evidence Project Leads and other specialist team members within multidisciplinary teams of Centre staff, external consultants and partner organisations. The Policy Engagement Lead will also work closely with colleagues leading our communications and partnerships, in support of Centre priorities.

***Role responsibilities****:

- Lead the development and implementation of policy-influencing, diplomacy and engagement strategies on key Centre priorities, co-designed in close collaboration with expert colleagues, that help to drive change at the international-system level, and through key regional forums.
- Lead engagement with a broad range of internal and external stakeholders from across sectors and geographies, and a diverse range of professional, cultural, and social backgrounds.
- Identify and exploit opportunities for strengthening the Centre’s strategic engagement with key stakeholders and for influencing decision-making.
- Undertake analysis and monitoring, providing global, regional and sectoral insights, and communicating them verbally and in writing to a variety of senior internal and external stakeholder audiences.
- Distil and clearly articulate complex messages to a range of audiences - providing high-quality written outputs, including briefings and communications products.
- Lead connectivity to policy and partner networks and represent the Centre in meetings with partners, in particular in connection to the development finance reform and climate finance agendas.
- Contribute to advancing the Centre’s policy thought-leadership agenda through effective storytelling (working closely with the Head of Communications), showcasing the Centre’s evidence, expertise, creativity, and learning.
- Work closely and proactively with colleagues from across the Centre’s multidisciplinary team, to increase knowledge and capacity in policy engagement and influencing, with a focus on upskilling.

In addition to role-specific responsibilities, the Policy Engagement Lead will be required to:

- Uphold the Centre’s values and contribute to a positive organisational culture.
- Build the Centre’s external reputation through managing relations with key stakeholders and partners across the development, humanitarian, climate, financial, civil society and academic sectors.
- Collaborate effectively with teams of Centre staff and consultants.

**Skills and experience**:

- Willingness to learn key pr
