You will oversee the delivery of political influencing strategies across UNICEF UK's advocacy agenda.

To succeed, you will have worked in a UK political setting, have experience of influencing Parliamentarians and Government Ministers to deliver policy change on legislation and broader policy issues, and you will be skilled at identifying and mitigating potential political risks.
