London, United Kingdom UKGBC Limited Full time

**THE ROLE**

This role offers an opportunity to be at the forefront of tackling the climate and nature emergencies and the cost-of-living crisis in the UK. Our inefficient buildings are the second largest source of climate emissions and bold government action is needed to drive change at scale and pace.

UKGBC is looking for an enthusiastic and well organised Policy and Public Affairs Coordinator to help achieve transformational policies from governments at the national, devolved, and local level. You will work at the heart of the Policy and Places team, splitting your time 50/50 between coordinating projects to help accelerate national level policy progress and supporting local authorities to act. You will support the team’s engagement work with members, allies, civil servants, and politicians as well as wider administrative activities.

We are looking for someone who has strong project coordination and administrative skills and is a good communicator, works well in teams and thrives in a fast-moving environment. This will be an opportunity for a quick learner with a passion for our agenda to make a real contribution and at the same time develop first-hand knowledge, experience and skills in policy and public affairs.
