The Green Party’s Activism Manager leads on professionalising the tools and structures that enable our local grass roots activists to grow and organise the activist base. As Activism Manager, you will be dynamic and self-motivated, with a passion for people development and nurturing talent. You will understand the value of training and development programmes, why it’s so important that we diversify our activist base in every way and be absolutely focussed on making a big breakthrough at the 2024 General and local elections.

The Green Party’s grass roots activists are motivated by a vision to transform politics to build a green and just society. Our activists primarily focus their activity on local election and General Election campaigning to get Green councillors and MPs elected who, working with local party groups, create change at the local level. The Activism Manager is at the centre of this work, creating structures to professionalise the way in which the party engages, organises, develops and utilises the skill of our party activists to play the fullest part possible in election campaigns.

Working within the Field Team, the Activism Manager acts as a leader of a team that focusses on training, mentoring and coaching of activists across England and Wales; and providing the resources and tools to make local party organisation and effective local election campaigning doable. The postholder takes responsibility for delivering the party’s training programme to upskill and diversify the party’s grass roots activism with the ultimate goal of winning more elections.

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.
