Role: Senior Policy Manager (Aviation, Shipping & Fuels)

Location: London

Deadline for applications: 15/01/2026

Join us to make aviation and shipping climate-neutral

Aviation and shipping are some of the fastest-growing sources of global carbon emissions. Flying emits more CO₂ per kilometer than any other mode of travel, meanwhile, shipping, the backbone of global trade, still operates with almost no meaningful climate regulation, even though it emits 20% of the UK's transport emissions.

The UK continues to subsidize aviation while both sectors lobby hard to slow climate action. We think that needs to change. If you want to help accelerate the clean transition of two of the most strategically important and globally influential transport sectors, we'd love to hear from you.

Your Role

As
Senior Policy Manager for Aviation, Shipping and Fuels
, you will shape how the UK transitions these sectors to climate neutrality. You will:

  • Develop and deliver political strategies to transform aviation, shipping and Fuels in the UK and ensure that T&E UK is a leading voice in the sector.
  • Oversee T&E UK's policy work on sustainable fuels, including hydrogen-based and synthetic fuels crucial to cleaning up both aviation and shipping
  • Line-manage the work of the UK Sustainable Shipping Senior Officer
  • Engage with the UK legislative processes influencing UK policy to decarbonize faster.
  • Engage with policymakers, industry and other NGO's to drive forward policy change.
  • Serve as a key point of contact for policymakers, industry, media, and stakeholders.
  • Represent T&E UK at external events and in the media
  • Organize and deliver impactful events and campaigns.

This is a rare opportunity to help drive climate action in sectors that are global, complex, high-impact and urgently in need of change.

What You Bring

  • 7+ years of experience in policy or advocacy, ideally in climate or energy.
  • Strong understanding of how climate policy drives market change in the UK
  • Confidence and motivation to engage with senior political, industry, start-up, and civil society leaders.
  • Excellent communication and strategic thinking skills
  • Experience in project management, with the ability to work independently and meet deadlines
  • Enthusiasm for working in an international team and achieving real-world change.
  • Knowledge of aviation, shipping, or sustainable fuels is an advantage but curiosity, political and economic insight, and drive matter more

Practical Information

This position is advertised as a permanent, full-time position based in London. While we offer a

flexible working environment, there is an expectation that there are at least two days per week spent in the office.

  • The start date would be as soon as possible.
  • The salary package depends on experience. We are an equal opportunities employer and offer competitive salary and benefits.
  • The deadline for applications is 15 January 2026
