Your Role:

We are seeking a Corporate Affairs Manager (Policy and Programme) to join our Corporate Affairs Leadership Team (CALT) within the Strategy & Regulation division.

In this role, you will be a key member of the CALT, overseeing two team members and reporting directly to the Head of Corporate Affairs. You will lead the development of external policy positions and manage our interactions with regulatory stakeholders and national decision-makers.

As part of the management team, you will contribute to achieving the objectives of the Corporate Affairs function, assist in strategic planning, and drive results for the team and the organization.

Your Responsibilities:

  • Lead policy development initiatives, including setting agendas for internal policy discussions and collaborating with subject matter experts to create reports and briefing materials.

We promote a flexible working environment, but as a manager, you will need to fulfill the demands of your role, which may require additional hours for collaboration, training, or meeting deadlines. Our office operates Monday to Friday during standard business hours.

If you are an experienced professional in Policy or Corporate Affairs and are passionate about delivering exceptional service while safeguarding the environment, we encourage you to explore this opportunity further.
