Requirements:

  • Demonstrable experience at a national level in a charity, membership organization, or similar.
  • Successful delivery of impactful, public-facing campaigns.
  • Knowledge of Westminster and ability to leverage understanding of how to use Government(s) to secure and deliver change.
