About Us
Uplift supports efforts to create a rapid and fair transition away from oil and gas production in the UK. We urgently need to phase out oil and gas drilling to stay within safe climate limits. Yet, despite having renewable resources in abundance, the UK remains Europe’s second largest oil and gas producer. We can and must be ambitious about moving past oil and gas production, while empowering and supporting workers and communities who rely on the industry for their livelihoods. Working with everyone from policy-makers and Parliamentarians, to academics and campaigners, Uplift undertakes research, analysis and campaigning to support a rapid and fair transition away from oil and gas production in the UK.
Role Summary
As Senior Press Officer, you will work with colleagues in the Communications team to help secure regular, high-profile and politically-attuned media coverage that communicates the urgent need for the UK to transition away from oil and gas extraction. The role involves drafting and distributing press releases, responding promptly to media inquiries, and preparing communications materials and key messages for other teams across the organisation. The Senior Press Officer will build and maintain relationships with key media contacts, monitor news coverage, and ensure accurate and timely information is provided to journalists. The role is suited to someone with experience working in a political context, who can help identify opportunities, write persuasively for different audiences, and respond in a timely way to risks to our work.
