About the role: 

Positive Money is a recognised thought-leader on central banking, the future of money and banking reform. Our work is regularly featured in the national press, including the FT, Times, Telegraph, Guardian, Independent, City AM, and Daily Mail, and we have received support from leading figures in the UK’s main political parties.

The Advocacy & Campaigns Assistant will work with both the influencing and mobilisation teams in developing and delivering Positive Money’s priority campaigns. In the next 12 months a key focus will be on greening the financial system ahead of COP26, but there are a range of other issues we will also be working on. Areas include wider reform of the money and banking system, digital currencies and the need for a fair and green recovery from the Covid crisis, which puts wellbeing above the pursuit of economic growth.

The Advocacy & Campaigns Assistant will assist the influencing team in ensuring that Positive Money is able to react quickly to developments in the areas we work on. This will mean undertaking regular monitoring of the media, Parliament and other relevant institutions, digesting and communicating developments to the rest of the team, and helping Positive Money respond through both ‘insider’ and ‘outsider’ channels.
