General Vacancies

Policy & Research Manager

Our Policy & Research Manager will have a passion for policy and research, an ability to develop evidence-based arguments and solutions, a clear and compelling writing style and the ability to interrogate the impact Creative UK makes through its advocacy, policy development, direct support and investment to businesses and organisations across creative industries. This role involves working with influential colleagues and industry champions to produce policy briefings and submissions on key topics impacting the creative sector and to develop policy proposals supporting growth and sustainability. This means working across all areas of policy, with a core focus on areas that are top priorities for the sector. To help ground this work, you’ll have the opportunity to account manage a diverse range of members across the creative sector.

You’ll join a fast-paced Policy, Public Affairs and Research team developing insight and engaging decision-makers to positively impact the cultural organisations, creative businesses and talent we engage with every day. You’ll have an analytical mind focused on identifying solutions, with an ability to see the stories behind the data – translating complex research into clear policy insights and recommendations. You should have a strong interest in, and passion for, the sector and will act as a key advisor to the CEO, the Director of Policy & Engagement and the wider leadership team. In return you will have the opportunity to work directly with the most influential creative individuals and organisations from across the UK’s creative industries – from advertising, art and architecture to fashion, film, heritage, publishing, theatre and video games.
