In the next 12 months there will be a General Election and we need an experienced and savvy Press Manager to lead our mainstream media coverage on TV, radio and in print. This coverage is key to our General Election strategy and our goal of delivering four new Green MPs and our highest ever national vote share.

You’ll be a key advisor to our leadership team and work alongside parliamentary and campaign teams to show what Greens in power mean for the future of England and Wales. You will thrive in fast-paced environments, be flexible, quick-thinking, decisive, and have good political judgement. You will be a great writer, manage competing priorities calmly, and have excellent interpersonal and communication skills. The ideal candidate will also have a wide range of press contacts they can draw on immediately to support delivery of our goals.

We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and communities, in particular those that are currently under-represented within our staff team. This includes, but is not limited to, people from minority ethnic groups and those who identify as disabled.

If you would like an informal conversation about the role before applying, please contact Gemma Walker, Head of Communications, via email (gemma.walker@greenparty.org.uk) to arrange a call.
