Do you want to help shape the future of a fairer and more equal United Kingdom? Are you interested in tackling tax dodging and making those with the broadest shoulders pay their fair share? Are you a savvy political operator and a confident policy shaper who would like to use these skills for building momentum for a fairer tax system and a more equal society? Then read on.
Tax Justice UK (TJ-UK) is building momentum for a fairer tax system. We want to see higher taxes on the super-rich to support quality public services and ensure the redistribution of wealth. We also want to curb tax abuse and see fair global tax rules. Tax will be high on the political agenda during a highly anticipated general election and it will be a defining issue for the incoming government. Many sectors will coalesce around the demand for investment in public services, and TJ-UK will be at the forefront of this debate.
Your role will help to win progressive tax reforms, build political support and anchor our campaigning with sound policy analysis. You don’t need a background in tax policy if you can demonstrate an ability to learn and master complex policy briefs. You do need to be hungry for change and be able to convince people in positions of power that progressive tax reform is sensible and feasible. Your policy expertise, political nouse and parliamentary knowledge will help the team to deliver change.
TJ-UK has a track record of securing campaign wins. We have built strong relationships with parliamentarians, policy makers and a network of influential think tanks and organisations. We also have excellent relationships with many influential media outlets, regularly securing extensive media coverage on tax justice issues.
We’re looking for a policy/political expert with a track record of achieving political change and a commitment to tax justice. You will be confident in shaping policy, have excellent knowledge of parliamentary procedure and be a strong team player.
If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.
You will:
-
Drive our advocacy, political engagement and external influencing
-
Develop and coordinate policy for the organisation
-
Support our campaigns
We're looking for:
- A savvy political operator
- A confident shaper of policy
- A strong team player
