Sortition Foundation is looking for an experienced press and communications professional, with a strong political and news sense, to ensure our campaign messages influence the public and political weather through the media. Your role will involve working with the campaigns team to secure coverage across broadcast and print media as part of a broader multi-channel communications strategy. You’ll respond and help produce opportunities to publicly make the case for institutionalising citizens’ assemblies like replacing the House of Lords with a House of Citizens. As this is the first role of its kind within Sortition, you will have the exciting opportunity of building on our messaging guide and frames testing to shape how we deliver this work.
The successful candidate will be highly organised, self-motivated and independent; everyone works from home with substantial freedom to choose their own hours.
So if you are excited by the prospect of building a dynamic press and comms function in a growing, collaborative, mission-driven organisation, then please apply!
We acknowledge that people from a number of communities are underrepresented in our team and in the wider deliberative democracy movement, and we’re committed to addressing this. If you believe you would bring greater diversity to our team, we’re keen to hear from you. If you would like to speak to someone about the role, then please contact [email protected] with "ATTN: James / Head of Press and Communications" in the subject line.
