Principal Policy Officer

Want to play your part in shaping policy in London?

Principal Policy Officer – Environment, Climate Change and Transport

Starting salary: £39,028

Do you want to help London boroughs respond to their environmental, climate change and transport challenges? Do you want to find solutions to some of the more challenging policy questions of the times and develop creative and collective approaches to varied issues such as emissions accounting, waste management and flooding? We are dealing with significant challenges in the environment, climate change and transport team, that will in turn present opportunities for you to shape service delivery approaches and leave your mark on the London policy landscape.

We are looking for a highly motivated person with enthusiasm, innovative ideas and the ability to work flexibly and collaboratively in a dynamic and quickly changing policy environment.

It is desirable for you to have experience of contributing to policy development in either or all of environment, climate change or transport policy areas.

The role will require that you analyse policy, research and data and apply this analysis to achieve better results for Londoners. You will also make London’s case to central government and a range of other, critical partners in London’s public sector and beyond. This will require you to build effective relationships across sectors, communicate, negotiate, and influence a diverse range of partners and stakeholders, as well as having experience of creative problem solving and managing a varied workload of projects in a pressurised environment.

London Councils is a collective of local government in London. We aim to get the best deal for Londoners and to ensure that London’s councils have the resources, freedoms and powers to do the best possible job for their residents and local businesses. We also run several services on behalf of the boroughs including the Freedom Pass, Taxicard and Health Emergency Badge.
