About the role:

We are looking for a Consultant to join our well-established Policy Implementation and Programmes practice, which manages a spectrum of large programmes.

  • Contribute to the organisation and support of programme-related activities with the aim of building capacity, such as working groups, secretariats, helpdesk or advisory services, communities of practice and expert networks and more.
  • Prepare reports, presentations and other written deliverables for a range of audiences, from technical annual reports through to website content.
  • Research, analyse and produce policy content in different forms. Examples include thematic or analytical papers, case studies, good practice fiches, mapping and comparative exercises, monitoring and evaluation surveys, stakeholder interviews, etc.
  • Contribute to the design and organisation of face-to-face, virtual and hybrid workshops and events, supported by a dedicated event logistics and technical team. With a strong focus on content development for our more senior consultants, your work could include supporting elements of the agenda, writing summaries, and supporting event discussions.
  • Contribute to aspects of proposal-writing and preparations, supporting sections of the technical offer, and coordinating with relevant experts.
  • Undertake other consultancy tasks, as required.

At Consultant level, you will typically support consultants and senior members of the team as they coordinate packages of activities and deliverables.

Required experience:

  • University degree or equivalent in a related discipline, for example, public policy, politics, economics, law
  • 2+ years professional experience in consultancy, public policy and/or government affairs in the EU and/or UK
  • Knowledge and interest in employment policy, labour mobility, areas linked to the European employment strategy.
  • Strong organisational and coordination skills, including time management, multi-tasking and the ability to work in a fast-paced environment.
  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, including interacting with multi-national and multi-disciplinary stakeholders.
  • Solid foundation in research and analysis, including basic qualitative and quantitative methods.
  • Knowledge of communications methods and tools in the context of disseminating outputs

Personal Qualities:

  • Ability to self-organise, prioritise and manage/work with multiple teams in parallel under tight deadlines in a fast-paced environment
