About Positive Money
Positive Money is a leading international new economy think tank and campaigning organisation re-imagining our money, banking, and the economy for the wellbeing of people, communities and the planet. We are part of a growing and collective force for economic systems change. Our mission is to reform money and banking to build a fair, democratic and sustainable economy.
We produce ground-breaking research and policy proposals, inform the public and politicians, regularly appear in the media, and mobilise the public behind people-powered campaigns. We believe in radical systems change and work to achieve lasting change on several fronts simultaneously: change in public understanding, the public and media debate, and at the policy and academic level. We work across three key areas: democratising money and banking, a green and fair European Central Bank (ECB), and financing the just transition of homes across Europe.
We are committed to cultivating a culture of support, respect, open communication, and collaboration that encourages creativity and innovation. We foster an environment where diverse perspectives are valued and where work arrangements are tailored to accommodate individual needs, ensuring every team member can contribute their best work.
About The Role
Positive Money has developed into an international organisation, having begun in the UK in 2010, before setting up offices in the EU in 2018, and the US in 2021. This role is an exciting opportunity to lead the EU office’s policy work and possibly step up into a head-level position. You will be in charge of building relationships with key stakeholders, influencing policy, leading our coalition work, producing policy briefings and being accountable for our advocacy programme work. You will report directly to the Executive Director and will manage the Policy Assistant.
About You
This is an exciting opportunity for a relationship builder and an excellent communicator. You’ll know how to facilitate spaces, write policy briefs messaging for different audiences, and build strategic relationships and communicate in a convincing way to make change happen inside institutions. You’ll be able to absorb and process information quickly in order to develop your knowledge, including in new/unfamiliar areas of work. You are highly organised, structured, and capable of managing multiple projects simultaneously and are able to work independently with minimal supervision. You share our commitment to an inclusive and diverse team, and our culture of being open-minded, ambitious, respectful and self-aware.
