About the job
Alongside the Institute’s Advisory and Strategy and Partnerships divisions, the Policy and Politics division serves an important role for the Institute. Our policy and political professionals, based in London and around the globe lead TBI’s original research and thinking on the most important questions for leaders.
The Policy and Politics division generates analysis that shapes public debate, enhances the work of client governments, and supports partnerships which improve people’s lives. Our work is global in nature, but we also develop individual national strategies, including our flagship Future of Britain programme.
We believe there is an opportunity for progressives around the world to work together on a common agenda but it requires a concerted effort and coordination. This role is a unique opportunity to bring that to the Tony Blair Institute, putting the organisation at the centre of the global renewal of progressive politics and working with thinkers inside and outside to develop thought leadership and a new, future-facing agenda. It requires someone who is a self-starter with a readymade political network - ideally globally but at a minimum nationally.
The role will be highly collaborative internally, knowing that a good idea can come from anywhere but that leadership is required to get to the right answers quickly. Collaboration also runs to outside the Institute, with a recognition that reinvigorating progressive politics means working with other organisations and not trying to ‘own’ this agenda.
Get this right and we will no longer be outflanked by populists on the right and left who offer simple solutions to complex problems. We will find ourselves working with likeminded organisations around the world, sharing our analysis of the challenges we face but for the first time in a long while, uniting around ideas and best practice to confront them.
