Public Affairs Manager

Help turn campaigns into real political change for women and girls. Join the Fawcett Society and help shape the future of women's rights in the UK.

The Fawcett Society is the UK's leading charity campaigning for women's rights and gender equality. For more than 150 years, we have fought to create a society where women and girls can live free from fear and on equal terms with men.

We are looking for an ambitious, politically engaged Public Affairs Manager to strengthen our influence at Westminster and beyond, build relationships with political decision-makers and turn our evidence and campaign priorities into meaningful change.

What you'll be doing

You will lead three important areas of work:

• Westminster influencing: Build relationships with MPs, peers, advisers and policymakers across political parties, identify opportunities and help turn our campaign demands into action.

• Making politics safer for women: Lead our work tackling sexism, harassment, intimidation and barriers to women's participation and representation in political life.

• Local government engagement: Work with colleagues, community groups and partners to develop a strategy for influencing local decision-making.

You will represent Fawcett at parliamentary meetings, roundtables and events, develop persuasive briefings and work closely with our campaigns and research teams to influence policy and legislation.
