London, United Kingdom Creative UK Full time

We are looking for an experienced professional with an extremely strong public affairs, policy and research background - who is imaginative, innovative and bold, who can communicate complex ideas accurately, succinctly and clearly, and who can be persuasive. We have been able to grow an authentic voice which represents, promotes, and enhances the interests of the UK’s world-leading creative sector through high-profile public campaigning and representations to the UK Government and a wide range of national and regional governmental bodies on policy solutions. This is made possible through convening, mobilising, and partnering with an influential and diverse mix of creative organisations, creators, education providers, trade bodies and unions that make up our membership. The role is responsible for ensuring Creative UK effectively uses policy and advocacy in the UK to support its mission.

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced professional and leader who is enthusiastic, dynamic and looking to make a real difference to the cultural and creative industries across the UK. Our new Head of Policy & Public Affairs will join a fast-paced and agile team within the Policy & Engagement Directorate, developing a high performing policy and public affairs function, establishing policy positions, delivering flagship policy-driven campaigns and effective stakeholder engagement to further the reach and impact of Creative UK. You will work with Creative UK’s membership, the Chief Executive, the Director of Policy & Engagement, colleagues across Creative UK and wider stakeholders to secure policy changes on behalf of the UK’s cultural and creative industries.

You will need to have the credibility and the gravitas to engage confidently with senior leaders and the intellectual curiosity to cultivate all that Creative UK has to offer in order to engineer the design and landing of policy solutions which matter for the creative economy at large. You will have confidence around the building and use of evidence to make the case for change, the passion to consistently engage across diverse stakeholders to design rigorous policy solutions, a strong understanding of the workings of Whitehall and Westminster and a clear and persuasive written and verbal style.

This role provides a unique opportunity to work directly with policymakers, politicians and individuals and organisations from across the UK’s cultural and creative industries, from advertising, architecture, museums, galleries, fashion, film, tv, craft, heritage, publishing, visual arts, performing arts and video games, and others; you’ll be a real game-changer helping to lead a movement for positive change.
