ABOUT MORE IN COMMON

More in Common is a research agency working across the US, UK, Germany, France, Brazil, Spain and Poland to tackle polarisation and division. More in Common leads and supports initiatives to build more united, inclusive, and resilient societies. Our mission is to understand the forces driving us apart, help societies find common ground and bring people together to tackle shared challenges. 

In the UK, our work is best described as being part consultancy and part think tank. We provide a full suite of research services including polling and focus group research; evidence reviews and secondary data analysis; audience mapping and audience strategy; strategic communications strategy and campaign development. More in Common are members of the British Polling Council. 

Our work is informed by our ground-breaking segmentation of the British public. This unique values-based lens to our quantitative and qualitative research means we can understand not only what the public thinks of the big challenges facing British society today – but crucially why they think it. Our insights help leaders in government, the media, business, and civil society to develop better strategies and communications – particularly in reaching disengaged communities far from the Westminster/London bubble – and to better navigate tricky and divisive issues. 

Over the last year, More in Common has published agenda-setting thought leadership on a whole range of debates facing British society – including exploring the public’s starting points on assisted dying and immigration; understanding how the British public is navigating major debates from trans and gender identity to the conflict in Israel and Palestine; and our political research has helped policymakers and politicians understand the dramatic fragmentation of our politics. Our work is regularly covered in the British press and media and we’ve developed a series of partnerships with broadcasters and newspapers to deliver top-quality research insights. In the 2024 General Election, we were among Britain’s most accurate pollsters and used our focus group research to put people and public opinion at the centre of coverage of the election campaign.

Through our consultancy, More in Common has also supported dozens of partners with insights and strategic communications support. We’ve helped national institutions such as the BBC, British Library and National Trust to better understand their audiences, we’ve helped partners in government and civil society with the set-up and delivery of the Homes for Ukraine scheme, and we’ve supported a range of partners to test their policy proposals from the National Farmers Union to Rethink Mental Illness among many others.

In 2026, More in Common has a range of exciting projects in the pipeline, including: 

• Launching a new training arm with a range of training programmes based on the Seven Segments - which this role will lead.

• Understanding the key dynamics of local elections in England and Scottish and Welsh Parliament elections, and the political landscape continues to fracture.

• Embedding our new Seven Segments with a wider range of organisations, including developing new products and training offers to help people understand the segments.

• A deep dive into our ‘Dissenting Disruptor’ segment who are disillusioned with mainstream politics and driving the rise of Reform UK.

• Working with a range of partners to help them understand their audiences and bring their key policy aims in line with public opinion, on topics ranging from sustainable transport, to international development aid, to social media regulation and more.

• Helping navigate declining trust in institutions, for example exploring why trust in universities and science appears to be falling.

ABOUT THIS ROLE

We are seeking a full-time Communications Assistant to raise More in Common’s profile, and help to take our communications strategy to new heights. Working closely with the UK team, the post holder will support proactive media outreach, translate our research into clear and compelling content, and help disseminate our findings to journalists, partners and other key audiences.

The Communications Assistant role involves the following indicative duties:

• Help translate More in Common’s research into concise, media-friendly insights, including drafting press releases and supporting colleagues to pitch stories to the press.

• Writing compelling content for our blog, newsletter and social media channels.

• Helping to promote our Opinion Brief newsletter and achieve our target of quadrupling our subscriber list by the end of 2026.

• Expanding More in Common’s media network; helping to build new relationships with journalists while maintaining and updating our existing mailing list.

• Building our long-term media grid, looking ahead to key upcoming moments in the news cycle and feeding ideas into our weekly polls to ensure we can quickly respond.

• Helping to craft an interesting story from our quantitative and qualitative data, and spot key statistics and trends that will be interesting to the media.

• Helping the team to experiment with paid online advertising to increase More in Common's profile and generate new business.

• Uploading content to our website and ensuring it remains up to date.

• Writing first drafts of quotes for media, op-eds, speeches, and external facing briefings

• Working with the wider team to develop More in Common's communications strategy, and identify a set of key performance indicators by which to evaluate our approach.

The successful candidate will also have opportunities to work with the UK Team across our core areas of research, partnership, client work and events. More in Common UK is a small team with a start-up culture where everyone is expected to execute a range of responsibilities. While the Communications Assistant will be primarily responsible for media and communications, we would like them to play an active role across our work.

QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE

Essential:

• A passion for media and communications.

• Excellent written communication; the ability to write clear, compelling content for different audiences.

• Familiarity with how to analyse and manipulate quantitative data and turn that data into a compelling story.

• A can-do attitude, with the ability to work both responsively and proactively at pace

• A keen interest in and genuine enthusiasm for UK politics and public opinion
