You are strategic about finance: You’ve got real skill in distilling complex financial information into simple, easy to understand reports and presentations that enable good decision-making. You see your knowledge of finance as a way to serve Director-level colleagues with overall decision-making. You also understand how to navigate competing priorities and how to calculate and articulate risk and reward, knowing few decisions are straightforward.
-
You get teams to use data well: You understand that accurate data and excellent management information tools enable good decision-making. You understand how management information databases (like Salesforce) work and would be able to maintain and build a culture of recording data and maintaining data quality within big teams.

-
You are interested and thoughtful about grant-making and evaluation: You may not be an expert in grant-making, but you have experience of how charities think and approach applications for money.

There has never been a more important time to act on the environmental crisis. In 2021, the UK hosted the UN climate conference in Glasgow, published its net zero strategy and passed a new Environment Act. Since then, Green Alliance has played a crucial role in fighting back against rhetoric and campaigns seeking to delay or reverse environmental ambition.
In this critical general election year, the pressure is now on for all parties to embrace ambitious policy platforms on the environment. Green Alliance aims to ensure that the government goes further and faster to meet environmental challenges and we work in partnership with others to do this.
We are recruiting a new political adviser to join our politics team. Responsibilities will be varied, including but not exclusive to leading the political engagement work for various projects across Green Alliance, covering a broad range of environmental issues aimed at securing meaningful progress from the current Government, as well as putting climate and nature at the heart of the next general election; building relationships and networks across Westminster; leading advocacy interventions and providing political support to our policy experts.
The role requires a highly skilled individual who will help us build on our strong relationships and networks across Westminster, and to deliver ambitious political leadership on a range of issues.
This is a brilliant opportunity for an exceptional communicator who is adept at bringing people together around a shared vision, and who has the interpersonal skills to inspire and work across Green Alliance and our extensive network of partners.
Green Alliance is a charity, independent think tank and advocate, committed to achieving a greener future. We believe that ambitious political leadership is the route to change at the speed and scale necessary.
We play a central role in shaping the natural environment, low carbon and resource policy agendas in the UK and are known for our cross-party influence and the clarity of our insights.
We aim to create a supportive and collaborative culture that allows people to reach their full potential, and to provide an inclusive working environment where diversity is valued and everyone is able to thrive.
At Green Alliance we believe that a diverse team leads to higher quality policy development and advocacy for the environment. We value the breadth of lived experience of our staff and support people to thrive. We encourage applications from all sections of society, particularly those from working-class backgrounds and people of colour who are under-represented in the environment and think tank sectors, to help us achieve our vision of a green and prosperous UK for all.
