We are looking for someone who has first rate communication skills, experience of leading and delivering successful policy projects, and a track record of building and maintaining relationships with senior internal and external stakeholders.

A demonstrable understanding of the social and economic importance of science, education, research and innovation and familiarity with relevant political strategies across Ireland and Northern Ireland would be advantageous. We welcome candidates with backgrounds in science, politics, economics or industry/business.

Location

Flexible however candidates must have a willingness to travel to IOP’s EU headquarters in Dublin City Centre where core team functions are based and key stakeholder meetings/events will be hosted. Additional travel will be required around Ireland and Northern Ireland, and sometimes to IOP offices in London. Remote working is in operation during Covid-19 and it is expected that a flexible, blended model of remote and office-based working will be implemented in the future.
