In the last five years, the Green Party has increased its number of councillors five-fold, is running councils covering a population of 6.6 million people, has elected four MPs and secured a record number of votes at the General Election in England and Wales. This was achieved through discipline and focus in the delivery of an effective strategy across a number of years. 

The next few years will see many more opportunities to grow the Green share of the vote and more elected Greens at council, Senedd, London, mayor, Police and Crime Commissioner and General Elections. To achieve this aim, the party will need policy that meets the political needs at each election. 

The new Policy Development Manager role will support the party through managing a small team to work with our many members in the party’s policy development community, including the volunteers that make up the party’s Policy Development Committee, to ensure the Green Party has cutting edge policy suitable for the current political environment and work to develop manifestos for elections. 

The Green Party’s Policy Development Manager will be a networker and collaborator first and foremost and will facilitate bringing the best in policy thinking to the party’s policy development. You will find working with others to be energising and will naturally want to help bring out the best in everyone so that the party’s manifestos serve the needs of the public and the party’s ultimate goal of creating a fairer and greener society for everyone.
