When meeting us, you’ll quickly discover that the best thing about the ABI is the people.  We’re hugely proud that 100% of our people feel colleagues within their team respect each other. If that sounds like your kind of culture, read on to find out how you can join us.

We are open to flexible, part time and/or job share working – please let us know if this would be your preference. We’re currently working in a hybrid way with at least 40% of time in the office.

We’re looking for a Policy Adviser to join us on a 12-month fixed term contract to develop our work focused on improving Customer Outcomes. In this role, you will work with the ABI’s Consumer Committee, identifying opportunities to develop and deliver initiatives that improve how insurance and long-term savings work for consumers. Working with colleagues, government, and our members in insurance and long-term savings, you will develop and deliver a range of projects where new ideas, creativity and collaboration are needed.

We welcome people who are new to insurance (most of us were when we joined!) – as well as those with experience. Have a read of our key facts document if you would like to know more about the industry we work in.

What’s the job?

• Shape the agendas for, and manage the delivery of, meetings of the ABI’s Consumer Committee and Consumer Advisory Group.

• Work with colleagues to shape and deliver cross-cutting projects - including work on product transparency, vulnerable customers and financial inclusion - using your customer-focused approach to influence the work they do.

• Work with government and wider stakeholders to develop pragmatic and impactful solutions to challenges facing consumers, particularly within the context of the FCA’s new Consumer Duty.

What skills do you need?

• An analytical mind – you know how to use research and analysis to inform your ideas and decision making and can make sense of complex policy issues.

• Project management – you can autonomously organise and efficiently run a variety of workstreams and projects.

• Communication and relationship management – you know how to approach people of all levels and backgrounds.

• The art of persuasion – you can influence a variety of stakeholders to drive solutions.
