Policy and Communications Officer

This role combines evidence-based policy development with impactful communications to drive meaningful progress towards gender equality in Wales. You will research the barriers to gender equality and develop clear policy recommendations – always through an intersectional lens. You will use the insights of this work to influence decision-makers, engage WEN’s diverse membership and shape public opinion to mobilise real change.

The ideal candidate will have a proven track record in researching and drafting effective and accessible writing and content for a wide range of audiences, including policy-makers, campaign supporters, and the wider public. You will know how to identify and build relationships with key stakeholders and partners, have strong political awareness, and the ability to think strategically. You will also need a good eye for detail and excellent self-management skills, with the ability to prioritise competing demands in a fast-paced environment.

If you are passionate about gender equality, motivated to make real change for women in Wales, and have excellent research and communication skills, this could be the role for you.

We particularly welcome applications from candidates who have lived experience of intersecting discrimination.
