Job description

Labour Together is an influential political think tank supporting the Labour government to govern effectively. Built by a group of MPs who fought to make Labour electable again, in 2020, it united the party behind Keir Starmer’s leadership. With Labour now established in Government, Labour Together now works to develop policies, ideas and arguments to strengthen Labour in power.

We are now 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 further vision, ambition and drive to the organisation.

Wherever you are now, you would shape, lead and motivate a talented and committed team to deliver its mission in a radically changed political context. We are 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 culture of the organisation, engage and influence at all levels of the team and be accountable to the Board for overall performance.
