• Someone active in party politics
• Strong analytical abilities for interpreting consultations and strategies, and helping craft policy positions, briefings, and correspondence
• Proficiency with monitoring and research tools, including AI, for effective analysis and action
• Proactivity in identifying policy opportunities and providing actionable insights for clients and business growth
• Someone with experience across multiple sectors, ideally including tech, cyber, telecoms, or health, who thrives in a fast-paced, dynamic agency environment with a positive attitude
• Ability to adopt AI tools and technologies to maximise efficiency and effectiveness across daily tasks
