Policy Officers

Greenwich has ambition — and we're looking for 3 Policy Officers to join our Policy Team and help drive the policy work behind it.

You'll lead projects end to end, from scoping and evidence-gathering through to outputs ready for Cabinet. You'll become the expert on the areas you cover, work directly with Cabinet members and senior officers, and lead the Council's response to consultations and new legislation.

You'll bring a strong grasp of local government, experience of leading evidence-based policy reviews, excellent writing for senior audiences, and the political judgement to handle sensitive issues with composure — all with the confidence to work independently.

In return, you'll shape decisions that improve the lives of Greenwich residents.
