• Investigate polluters and analyse their performance relating to legal requirements, their governance/legal structure, their finances and resourcing e.g. water companies failing to invest in their leaking infrastructure.

• Research potential solutions to the problems that have been investigated e.g. technologies that convert farm waste to energy, new regulatory structures or financial incentives such as government funding including Environmental Land Management scheme.

• Present analytical and research finds to colleagues in accessible reports that describe the challenges facing a river/community/nation and potential solutions.

• Produce periodic data based reports or surveys for external publication, requiring compelling presentation of data and highly engaging narrative.

• Interpret data in a highly engaging way for the general public and media, including the use of infographics and clear and highly articulate reports. Sources could include industry dynamics, pollution statistics, policy implications, legal cases.

• Work with River Action Senior Media Coordinator to ensure we are using data and analysis most effectively to increase the impact of our media work.

• Work with River Action Campaigns and Communities Coordinators to ensure our campaigns and community support (e.g. through the River Rescue Toolkit) are informed, up to date and backed with evidence.

• Build relationships with analysts and researchers at universities, think tanks and other third sector organisations in the campaigns space and work on collaborative projects, sharing data and resources. 

• When required, manage relationships with contractors e.g. researchers, polling companies and academics. 

• Plan and deliver public opinion polls to research and understand views on subjects related to our campaigns, and provide data to our communications team to substantiate campaigns.

• Contribute to fundraising efforts particularly crowdfunding by providing information in support of the Campaigns and Fundraising teams and charity’s mission.

• Help ensure all team members representing River Action are well-briefed and on-brand ahead of external engagement, and colleagues handle sensitive personal information and relationships according to organisational policies.

• Support the Campaigns Manager in representing the charity’s communication work as required through the media, public-speaking and at events (online and in person).

• Keep up to date with our relevant work across advocacy, policy and key relationships in order to inform communications.
