Senior Advisor: UK-EU Trade
trade justice movement

Job Description

The Trade Justice Movement is a UK coalition of organisations advocating for trade justice, including trade unions, aid agencies, environment and human rights campaigns, Fair Trade organisations, and faith and consumer groups. TJM is supported by more than 70 member organisations with millions of individual members. Together, we call for trade justice - not free trade - with the rules weighted to benefit poor people and the environment. 

We believe that everyone has the right to feed their families, make a decent living and protect their environment. But the rich and powerful are pursuing trade policies that put profits before the needs of people and the planet. To end poverty and protect the environment we need trade justice, not free trade.

About the role

The Senior Advisor’s role is to:

  • Provide analysis and intelligence on the future UK-EU trade relationship and in particular on the negotiations towards and content of a trade deal;
  • Develop high quality, timely communications with the media and maintain a network of journalist contacts;
  • Contribute to high quality, timely communications with the TJM membership and broader civil society sector;
  • Convene civil society organisations to respond to the development of the UK-EU trade relationship;
  • Influence politically and within the sector including via both internal and external communications and to support joint advocacy work between groups of TJM members;
  • Represent TJM to external organisations, including other CSOs and government departments.

Working as part of a small team, you will need both a strong ability to manage your time and work plan and to work closely with our network of members to support joint strategising and advocacy. This is an exciting opportunity to make a big impact as the UK and the EU develop their future trading relationship.
