Sheffield, United Kingdom University of Sheffield Full time

Do you have a passion for driving meaningful real-world change by bringing together academic experts and policy-makers? Do you thrive in a collaborative environment? We have a unique opportunity for an experienced policy engagement professional to join our newly-formed team, connecting leading academic research with civil servants and other policy makers.

We are looking for a motivated individual with excellent organisational skills and knowledge of the policymaking process. You will play a central role in the delivery of training programmes, networking and related events - and in identifying and facilitating opportunities for our academics to engage policymakers across different arms of government.

This exciting and strategic role not only offers you the opportunity to support policy engagement and impact within a world-leading university, but also provides the chance to work across the whole university and build relationships with high-profile organisations. It presents an excellent opportunity to develop your skills in project management, influencing, and partnership development.

We’re one of the best not-for-profit organisations to work for in the UK, with a reward package including:

- 38 days annual leave (including closure days and Bank Holidays), with the possibility to purchase up to ten additional days.
- A commitment to work life balance including flexible working opportunities and hybrid working where possible.
- A highly competitive pension scheme.
- Discounts at participating shops and cinemas, and a cycle to work scheme.
- A commitment to your development, with programmes, learning modules and mentoring schemes.
- A commitment to your wellbeing, with confidential emotional support, support for those going through the menopause, experiencing fertility treatment and having a baby, paid leave for IVF treatment and more.

You will work in a friendly and collaborative team within the Research, Partnerships and Innovation Department, with a strong sense of citizenship and supporting others. We build teams of people from different heritages and lifestyles from across the world, whose talent and contributions complement each other to greatest effect. We believe diversity in all its forms delivers greater impact through research, teaching and student experience.
