Work with us

For over 40 years, Green Alliance has played a central role in shaping the natural environment, climate and resources agendas in the UK and we are known for our cross-party influence and the clarity of our insights.

We are renowned for the high quality of our work, our experienced team and our collaborative approach, which has enabled us to develop excellent relationships at the highest level, with political parties, businesses, NGOs and academia.

We are looking for a new Policy Adviser to help deliver ambitious leadership for the environment primarily within our resources theme. You will play an important role in undertaking research and analysis on our key themes, particularly in relation to resources. Your work will play a significant part in endorsing and supporting Green Alliance policy findings and will help to influence and promote debate and discussion around our key policy areas such as resources, climate, the green economy and natural environment.

To succeed in this role, you will need to be an organised project manager able to build effective relationships both inside and outside the organisation. Strong communications skills are essential and you should be able to create engaging, impactful communications that are tailored for specific audiences. These may take many forms including reports, briefings, articles, blogs, consultation responses and other communications materials to support our policy findings.

You will be part of the policy team, reporting directly to the head of resources policy. You will work closely with and liaise with colleagues at all levels within the organization. As a collaborative organization you should enjoy working with a range of different people in different areas.

The nature of the role means that you will need to be both a self-starter able to plan and manage your own time and priorities well as well as an effective team player able to adapt to these changing requirements with ease.

Ideally you will possess a thorough knowledge of UK policy processes and have experience of policy research and analysis and the ability to rapidly synthesise information and make recommendations for a policy audience.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who wants to be part of a team that has a real impact on major policy issues.

Green Alliance is committed to achieving positive outcomes for the environment. To do so successfully, we have created a supportive, inclusive and collaborative working culture that enables all of our staff to reach their full potential.

In our work to deliver ambitious leadership for the environment we are guided by the following values:

• We are optimists.
• We are change makers.
• We are collaborative.
• We embrace complexity.
• We are inclusive.

Please note that we can only accept applications from individuals with the right to work in the UK. We are unable to sponsor working visa applications.

To apply: please see job pack.

Note: CVs will not be accepted.

Closing date for applications: 9:00 am Monday 15 July 2024

Could you be one of Green Alliance’s new trustees?

We are keen to add new talent to our board of great trustees. This is an opportunity for passionate individuals who support our strategy and objectives, and will bring energy and enthusiasm, helping us excel at what we do.

We need trustees with a diverse range of skills, experience and knowledge, and would love to hear from people who could bring one or more of the following:

• experience of leadership in the environmental movement
• a background in social change or political campaign strategies
• experience of the media, for example as a journalist
• environmental expertise, perhaps with experience of working with the EU
• experience of HR and supporting an excellent staff team
• knowledge and experience of the civil service, industry or business

We need a diverse and inclusive board to lead Green Alliance effectively. We know that including different perspectives, experience and expertise will enrich our conversations and help us make better decisions.

We encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, particularly from candidates who are under 35, people of colour and those who will increase the socioeconomic diversity of our board.

We are open to applications from people who have not served on a board before and will offer mentoring and support in skills development to enable full participation as a trustee. We understand that people can have different needs and will always work to accommodate them.
