Following the Brexit vote, international trade has become one of the government’s top priorities, and has received a huge amount of public and media interest. The UK has a unique opportunity to develop trade policy which responds to key policy priorities such as tackling climate change, responding to and recovering from the Covid pandemic, and delivering on the UK’s international commitments such as the Sustainable Development Goals. However, the government’s proposed trade deals could undermine action in these areas. To date there is no clear strategy to ensure that trade deals are aligned with the UK’s other policy objectives, instead the Government’s primary objective has been to deliver as many new trade agreements as possible. 

The Senior Researcher’s role is to ensure TJM has timely, in depth analysis of trade negotiations, agreements, legislation and other relevant Government policy to support our role as a source of intelligence for other civil society organisations and our work in parliament and with the media: 

• Develop a strategy to ensure TJM is able to analyse trade deals and any information about negotiations or policies coming from the Government;

• Undertake analysis, usually with a quick turnaround time, of trade agreements, updates on negotiations and other relevant Government documents;

• Occasionally commission and manage external contractors to deliver analysis; 

• Produce regular reports and briefings for the TJM secretariat and other organisational partners;

• Develop and maintain good relationships with civil service departments, particularly DIT but also the Cabinet Office, BEIS, DIT and Defra with a view to ensuring TJM has access to as much useful information as possible.

Working with a small team, you will need both a strong ability to manage your own time and work plan, occasionally manage external consultants and to be proactive in developing relevant external relationships. This is an exciting opportunity to make a big impact as the UK develops its independent trade policy.

Full Fact is an independent charity and team of campaigners and fact checkers. We are recruiting a Policy Manager to influence government legislation, regulation, policy and the action of internet companies to address misinformation online.

As Full Fact’s Policy Manager, you’ll play a central part in our work to stop the harm caused by bad information, improve the standard of public debate, and make sure people get the facts they deserve. Life-threatening misinformation during the pandemic has shown how this work has never been more important, and you’ll be joining the team at a pivotal and exciting time as the Online Safety Bill and wider debate open up windows of opportunity for positive policy change.

You’ll work in our Policy and Advocacy team with colleagues developing policy positions and campaigning for change on a set of issues that have public and political salience here in the UK and internationally around the information environment. Your work will contribute to the team’s wider advocacy agenda on tackling misinformation in public debate and online.

You will be a key team member in our campaign on the Online Safety Bill, making sure we have the relationships with the government and other relevant organisations, as well as building policy propositions to influence this key legislation and how the resulting new regime takes shape.

The role will take forward our Framework for Information Incidents with stakeholders to drive improvements in the preparedness, response and accountability of actors around misinformation incidents and crises, focusing on the UK and other governments as well as the internet companies.

Full Fact has a strong record of making submissions to the inquiries of select committees and in being invited to give evidence. You will make sure we provide high-quality policy messages that are useful to parliamentarians as well as providing policy support to our Chief Executive in these sessions.

Full Fact’s work has an impact. We obtain corrections from Prime Ministers, other senior politicians and MPs. We influence policy and practice on online misinformation and related issues. We drive forward solutions to misinformation rooted in evidence, including from the fact checking process.

This is a chance to put your policy knowledge, engagement skills and strong judgement to work in a fast-moving campaigning, policy and political context. You’ll have responsibility and opportunities to grow. If you have a strong policy skillset, this is an exciting role working across new and emerging areas of politics, media, public debate and online policy.
