We are looking for an exceptional individual to lead the development and implementation of the RSPB's political strategy. An experienced advocate, you will have the political insight to help us influence decision-makers in Westminster to benefit nature. You will relish the opportunity of working for a large nature conservation charity which is active across the UK, in Europe and further afield. You know what it takes to deliver real change and the value of mobilising our million members to step up for nature. You will be able to operate at a senior level within the RSPB and be an excellent ambassador to others. You must be passionate about wildlife and driven by results.
Political leaders around the world recently adopted new biodiversity targets to halt the loss of biodiversity and begin its restoration by 2020. The RSPB's emerging Strategic Plan will demonstrate our intention to do more for nature. This will include ambitious plans to influence decision-makers to ensure that policies and legislation benefit birds and other wildlife. We need exceptional leadership to help us achieve these objectives.
The postholder will lead the development of a new political strategy to guide the RSPB's advocacy. The economic and political landscape has changed dramatically over the past 18 months. There is a new coalition government at Westminster and different political parties are in power in the devolved administrations.
This new context demands that we reinvigorate our approach so that politicians across the UK step up and do more for nature. The postholder will therefore be responsible for ensuring that we grow our influence with decision-makers so that nature conservation attracts more political support.
The postholder will lead the External Affairs team which is responsible for:
- Managing and developing relationships with Westminster parliamentarians
- Managing the flow of information regarding activity within Westminster
- Supporting development and implementation of priority advocacy plans
- Developing advocacy capacity within the RSPB
- Developing and managing the ability of RSPB members to support our advocacy.
