You will be 'in the room’ for decision making as the UK’s preeminent business body determines how to best represent its members when responding to breaking news and important government announcements


CBI employees on a fixed-term contract are entitled to the same CBI Benefits as permanent staff. You can see some of these listed here, but additional benefits include expensed flu jabs, core and specialised Learning & Development opportunities, private medical insurance, and expensed eye tests, amongst lots more.
