Policy and Public Affairs Recruitment Specialist

We are delighted to be partnering with the Motorcycle Industry Association (MCIA) to recruit a Public Affairs Manager at a pivotal time for the organisation and the wider clean transport sector.

The MCIA represents manufacturers, importers, accessory suppliers, and service providers in the Powered Light Vehicle (PLV) industry - which includes motorcycles, scooters, trikes, and quadricycles. As the UK moves toward net zero, PLVs are an increasingly important part of the clean transport conversation. MCIA plays a central role in shaping the policy and regulatory environment to support the growth of this sector.

This is an exciting opportunity for a public affairs professional to drive MCIA's engagement with political and regulatory stakeholders in Westminster and Whitehall. Working closely with the CEO and Director of Policy & Public Affairs, you'll help raise the profile of the sector, influence policy outcomes, and support members in navigating change.

Key responsibilities:

• Support MCIA's political engagement strategy across UK Government and Parliament
• Build relationships with key stakeholders, including MPs, government departments, and advisers
• Monitor policy and legislative developments affecting the industry
• Lead on vehicle and road safety policy, ensuring MCIA has a strong presence in safety-related regulatory discussions
• Draft briefings, consultation responses, letters, and parliamentary correspondence
• Represent MCIA at meetings, roundtables, and political events
• Support campaigns and external communications that promote the industry's contribution to economic growth, transport decarbonisation, and active travel

About you:
We're looking for someone who brings:

• Experience working in a public affairs, parliamentary, or policy role - either in-house, in an agency, or in a political setting
• Excellent political awareness and understanding of UK policymaking
• First-rate written and verbal communication skills
• A proactive and collaborative approach, with the ability to build relationships at all levels
• An interest in transport, innovation, or clean growth

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a respected trade association at the heart of a fast-changing and high-profile policy area. You'll have real autonomy, visibility, and the chance to make a meaningful impact whilst working with high-profile members.
