This is a 12 month maternity cover contract engagement. The current role holder is due to finish up at the end of January.

Over the coming year, there's one thing you're absolutely not going to be with this role and that's bored


This transport and travel industry giant hasn't really left the media's eye for the last 6+ months, which means if you do a good job - not only is your work going to be very public.

It's also going to result in some pretty amazing achievements for your CVtoo.

You'll be responsible for leading engagement with external audience stakeholders.

Creating various assets in the form of communications, briefings, articles and various other elements within the toolkit which can help garner support, influence decision makingor mitigate negative market commentary.

These interested parties will include Parliamentary bodies, MPs and their respective offices, various interest groups and committees.

There's going to be a lot of relationship building and management needed as part of your role. Both with high profile MP's as well as senior industry people, right up to CEO level.

In addition to the reactive will be pro-active PA campaign work.

This isn't lobbying, as that's not something this business needs to do.

It's principally aligned to change and transformation work going on in the business, stuff which requires stakeholder engagement pieces, or devising plans on how to gather support forthose change plans.


As well as 3-4 big projects of work the business is undertaking to raise awareness of certain programmes of work they're doing for good in the industry.


Such as:

  • Promoting green and sustainability credentials
  • How the businesses they represent are helping to level up the UK economy
  • Rebuilding trust with the public, not only in their business, but the industry as a whole


The team you'll be joining are a really friendly bunch, and a place where you'll feel like the people genuinely seem to care about each other.

Making you feel like you belong to something more than just a workplace.


Experience we're looking for:


  • Solid knowledge of Public Affairs
  • Potentially have experience working in an MP's office handling comms. Or experience from a not for profit type of environment doing similar.
  • Have experience of working with businesses going through change, handling PA communications on their behalf
  • Experience could be agency/consultancy or end client side based
  • Good knowledge of asset creation for campaigns, including handling the monitoring and analysis side of things too
  • You're a relationship builder with key industry and political personnel
  • Comfortable working in quite fluid environments where there's lots of pace and change going on
