Founded by a group of MPs, many of whom are now at the heart of the Cabinet in the UK Government, Labour Together has been an important part of the renewal of the Labour Party. As a political think-tank, Labour Together differs in that it has gone beyond traditional research and policy to offer political leadership and talent development in support of the new government. Now, the strategy is to build a politics that keeps Labour in power for a decade, to transform Britain for the better.
We are seeking a new Chief Executive to take Labour Together forward, to develop and support Labour’s long term political project. This is an opportunity for an inspirational and creative political leader to bring vision, ambition and drive to the organisation.
You would shape, lead and motivate a talented and committed team to deliver its mission in a radically changed political context. We are ideally seeking a leader who brings ‘political entrepreneurship’, spotting opportunities and thinking innovatively in response to evolving politics and major policy challenges, with drive, resilience and exceptional relationship-building skills. You will need to engage the respect, trust and confidence of MPs, ministers and broader stakeholders and have a strong connection with the party.
The CEO will have political acumen and astute judgement, able to navigate the delicate balance between a critical friend and trusted partner to government. You will have a track record of successful leadership in a diverse and multi-stakeholder environment, with strong intellectual capacity, diplomatic skills and political nous. Responsible for the leadership, management and strategic direction of Labour Together, you will further build the strong values and culture of the organisation, engage and influence at all levels of the team and be accountable to the Board for overall performance.
