Job Title: Policy Researcher, Britain Remade

Details

  • Location: London (with flexibility to work from home 1-2 days per week)
  • Salary: £35,000–£45,000 depending on experience
  • Duration: Permanent
  • Application closing date: 21st April 2025

Overview

Britain Remade is a cross-party campaign group advocating for clean growth. We believe Britain is held back because it's too difficult to build the clean energy sources, transport links, and new housing we need to boost our economy and achieve net zero.

We're looking for a Policy Researcher to join our friendly and dynamic team. You will work directly with our Head of Policy to help shape our approach on energy, housing, and transport.

About the Role

As our Policy Researcher, you will:

  • Work closely with the Head of Policy to develop Britain Remade’s policy positions.
  • Write briefing papers, opinion articles, and blog posts on key issues.
  • Keep track of policy developments in energy, housing, and transport.
  • Represent Britain Remade publicly across media platforms (broadcast, print, social media).
  • Present findings and engage with policymakers, industry stakeholders, and media representatives.
  • Analyse data to generate practical policy insights.

Britain Remade is a national campaign. If you're successful, expect to travel across the UK visiting everything from nuclear power stations in Wales to offshore wind farms off the coast of Aberdeen.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

  • Excellent persuasive writing skills.
  • Solid grasp of economics and public policy with the ability to clearly explain complex ideas.
  • Genuine passion for economic growth and Britain Remade’s policy areas.
  • Strong attention to detail with the ability to deliver quality work quickly.
  • Comfort with data analysis and interpretation.

Desirable:

  • Experience with statistical software like Stata or R (advanced Excel skills are equally valued).
  • Previous experience writing policy reports.
  • Specialist knowledge in housing, transport, or energy policy.

The Ideal Candidate

We’re looking for someone proactive, self-motivated, and genuinely interested in shaping UK policy. You might have experience as a policy researcher, a relevant master's degree, parliamentary experience, or simply an active interest demonstrated through your own writing or blogs. You’re comfortable with data and statistics and eager to learn new skills—whether that’s using AI to assess planning applications, mapping software for urban planning, or digging through archives for research.

We don't expect you to match every detail perfectly—Britain Remade is a flexible organisation willing to shape the role around the right candidate. So don’t be deterred if your background doesn’t perfectly align. Whether you're a town planner interested in moving into policy advocacy, or a nuclear engineer keen to influence regulations, we’d love to hear from you.

How to Apply

Please send your CV, a short cover letter (150 words max), and a list of three blogs, articles, or reports you think every policymaker should read to [email protected]

If you have any examples of your writing, it is encouraged to include these within your application.
