London, United Kingdom The Fairtrade Foundation Full time

Job description

Our new global strategy has a major focus on advocacy and thought leadership and we are now looking for a dynamic, experienced Head of Public Affairs to lead this work in the UK. In nearly thirty years of championing a better deal for farmers and workers in lower-income countries, Fairtrade has extensive experience of what works, what doesn’t, and the vital role played by policy-makers and the media in shaping the environment for fairer trade.

The Fairtrade Foundation is highly respected by government, policy-makers and civil society for the quality of our research and advocacy; similarly our media team has built close and collaborative relations with journalists and broadcasters and is regularly sought out for comment and opinion on issues of trade, sustainable development and the climate crisis. We are bringing together our policy and media teams into a new Public Affairs team, in order to strengthen our work, focusing our engagement more clearly on what is needed for trade justice to flourish.

If you have a passion for change, for team leadership and have demonstrable experience of working at a senior level on policy research and advocacy, or media relations - or both - we would love to hear from you. We offer a competitive salary, flexible working, and a range of benefits, as well as the chance to help shape the future of Fairtrade in the UK.
