Experience and skills
This role would suit an entrepreneurial leader who is passionate about London, cities and public policy, happy with active fundraising, and experienced in influencing change.
You do not need to be an expert on London or all of the policy issues we work on, but you will need to be intellectually curious, and have an understanding of the opportunities and challenges facing a global city like London. You will have the skills to build new connections and relationships as a significant part of the role is to secure funds. You might already have extensive networks across London’s communities, or you might have the skills to build this network. Although not essential, you might have held a senior role in a research or policy focused charity or think tank, or you may have been working in a policy related role in the public or business sector.
