About the Role
We are seeking a Policy Adviser to help drive forward our strategic policy advocacy at a critical time for the climate movement in the UK and globally. Uplift is an impact-oriented research and campaigning organisation focused on supporting a rapid and fair transition away from oil and gas in the UK. Our goal is to make the UK a global first-mover on phasing out oil and gas production in line with climate limits and ensuring a just settlement for the workforce.

As Policy Adviser, you will collaborate closely with Uplift’s team and key partners to ensure our collective work is underpinned by robust and forward-thinking policy analysis. Your role will involve responding to policy announcements, proactively setting the agenda, and ensuring the team has a sound understanding of the future of the North Sea. This is a diverse role at the heart of our efforts to push a just transition away from oil and gas extraction.

Core responsibilities include supporting the delivery of policy analysis, research and advocacy; monitoring UK climate and energy policy developments; producing clear and compelling analysis, briefings, and consultation responses; fact-checking and providing ad-hoc policy analysis; coordinating policy priority-setting; supporting the development of evidence-based policy asks; building and maintaining collaborative relationships with partners and stakeholders; and contributing to the wider Research, Policy and Legal team’s work including knowledge management and maintaining high-quality standards in outputs.

Experience
- Experience in a similar or related role such as policy, research, advocacy or campaigns.
- Strong knowledge of UK climate, energy or environmental policy. Direct expertise in just transition, fossil fuels or renewables is advantageous but not essential.

About you
- Excellent research and analytical skills with the ability to synthesise complex information quickly and accurately.
- Exceptional writing and communication skills with strong attention to detail.
- Motivation, initiative, and ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-moving environment.
- Strong commitment to Uplift’s mission and core values of equity and climate justice.

Qualifications
- No specific qualifications stated, but relevant experience and alignment with organisational values are essential.
