About Policy Connect
This is an exciting time at Policy Connect. With a new CEO at the helm, we have a vision that brings academics, business, industry and the third sector together with policymakers to help inform their decisions with real-world examples and expertise. Through this vision, we want our excellent events and policy reports to compete with the best think tanks in the country.

We are a cross-party, cross-sector, not-for-profit social enterprise. Our research teams focus on five key policy areas:
- Manufacturing and Energy

- Higher Education
- Health
We convene Commission-led inquiries which result in policy reports, briefings and newsletters. We also organise networking and ad hoc policy events.
This is an exciting time for Policy Connect. With a new CEO and vision for a future in which Policy Connect significantly raises its profile, this is a great chance for someone to help shape the team with new ideas.
About the role
This is an opportunity for someone with policy experience to work across our wide-ranging policy pillars, to help establish this year’s programme of work and set up cross-policy inquiries, to conduct interviews and desk research and to write influential reports.
