Cardiff, United Kingdom Nesta Full time

**We are recruiting for a Policy Advisor in the Nesta Cymru Team.**:
The Policy Advisor will work across Nesta’s three missions and make a significant contribution to our UK Options 2040 programme.

**About Nesta**

We are Nesta, the UK’s innovation agency for social good. We design, test and scale solutions to society’s biggest problems. Our three missions are to give every child a fair start, help people live healthy lives, and create a sustainable future where the economy works for both people and the planet. Influencing changes in policy will play a key role in this work - both directly impacting our goals and ensuring that systems are ready for innovation.

For over 20 years, we have worked to support, encourage and inspire innovation. We work in three roles: as an innovation partner working with frontline organisations to design and test new solutions, as a venture builder supporting new and early-stage businesses, and as a system shaper creating the conditions for innovation.

Harnessing the rigour of science and the creativity of design, we work relentlessly to change millions of lives for the better. Find out more at nesta.org.uk.

**The role**

You will be part of the Nesta Cymru team, working closely with Mission Managers, our Communications and Engagement manager and the Head of Nesta Cymru to influence policy and achieve social impact at scale in each mission area.

There are two key workstreams for this role - supporting the development of mission-focused policy work in Wales and contributing to our UK Options 2040 project.

You will be responsible for keeping abreast of relevant policy developments, developing policy proposals, and building relationships both internally (across the wider Nesta team) and externally within Wales.

You will be expected to:

- Develop a solid understanding of policy focused-challenges and how they are affected by place and devolution.
- Interpret and synthesise insights from primary research, evidence reviews and data analysis in order to brief key stakeholders, including Welsh Government contacts.
- Support the identification and development of policy options and ensure that the impact, constraints and opportunities of devolution are recognised throughout the development process.
- Work closely with Nesta Cymru’s Communications and Engagement Manager (and wider Comms team) to produce public-facing outputs (such as blog posts, events or reports) as and when appropriate for Welsh audiences.
- Support our mission managers to develop strategic policy positions for each of our missions in Wales.
- Write incisive policy notes to key stakeholders across government, that draw on the latest research and synthesise the best ideas from across Nesta.
- Design and deliver rapid primary research projects that enable policy options to be weighed robustly and pragmatically. To do this, you will draw reliable insights out of quantitative datasets, and at times work with qualitative and user research experts to undertake qualitative research sprints.
- Support the development of thought leadership and policy content for a range of audiences, working with the Communications team as part of a broader communications strategy for Nesta Cymru.
- Support the Mission Managers and Head of Nation to cultivate strong and sustained relationships with contacts across government and the Senedd.

**Your time will be split across two strands of work**:
Developing mission-related policy work in Wales (c. 60% of role)

As we ramp up our work in Wales across our three missions, focusing on policy as a vehicle for and an enabler of innovation will become increasingly important in helping us achieve impact at scale. You’ll support the three mission managers to develop coherent policy positions and ensure our policy asks are evidence-based and rigorously tested.

UK Options 2040 (c. 40% of role)

UK 2040 Options supports policymakers as they make choices about what to prioritise and how to deliver: setting out alternative policy options and pathways for the future, creating space for honest debate about the trade-offs and testing and interrogating ideas that take us beyond immediate crises

Working on a small number of our chosen policy areas, you will work with the UK Options 2040 team to ensure that the impact of and opportunities generated by devolution are effectively recognised in our work.

**Preferred skills, qualifications and experience**:
Essential
- Demonstrable understanding of how the Welsh government develops and implements policy and the role of evidence in this process.
- Willingness to work flexibly on policy topics outside of immediate expertise or preferred areas of interest
- Ability to interpret and summarise qualitative and quantitative data, academic evidence and government policy papers. Quality check and synthesise findings with ease.
- Excellent communication and presentation skills. You can explain complex topics in simple terms and write clearly and concisely, ad
