Preston, United Kingdom North and Western Lancashire Chamber of Commerce Full time

The North & Western Lancashire Chamber of Commerce (NWLCC) has over 1,600 members and works closely with all areas of the business community offering a wide range of services in order to support and assist our members in their drive towards success.

Our policy and lobbying work is widely valued by businesses around the region and our opinions are sought after by policymakers, influencers and commentators. We are looking to appoint a Policy & Research Officer to help work with our businesses, our senior team and others to support the delivery of this important area of our operation.

Reporting directly to the CEO, the post-holder is responsible for the management of the NWLCC research function, ensuring an ongoing programme of relevant and robust research to underpin Chamber policy positions and reinforce campaigns.

You must be an enthusiastic self-starter with excellent inter-personal and collaborative skills, and also able to work with high degree of autonomy, manage priorities and workload within objectives set by the CEO.

The role is office based, but will require some travel for meetings, conferences and events and therefore applicants must be qualified to drive and possess their own vehicle.

Although you will work closely with other departments, the ability to work without direct supervision and use your own initiative will be crucial. Given the nature of the job you must also have a flexible approach and be willing to work outside normal office hours as required.
