About the Role
We are seeking a Policy Adviser to drive forward 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 underpin our collective work with robust and forward-thinking policy analysis. Your responsibilities will range from responding to policy announcements, proactively setting the agenda, to 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 Uplift’s 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 evidence-based policy asks; building 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
- Exceptional research and analytical skills with the ability to synthesise complex information quickly and accurately.
- Excellent writing and communication skills with strong attention to detail.
- Motivated, proactive, and able to work independently as well as collaboratively in a fast-moving environment.
- A strong commitment to Uplift’s mission and core values of equity and climate justice.

Qualifications
- No specific qualifications are explicitly required, but relevant experience and a strong alignment with the organisation’s values are essential.
