Please note that this role offers flexibility in where you are based and how you work. You will work closely with teams at both Warwick and LSE. However, due to the nature of the position most of your duties requiring in person attendance will be in London. This includes an expectation to attend and run regular (at least twice a month) events at LSE, as well as spending some time at the University of Warwick to collaborate with colleagues.

Further details are available on the CenTax webpage.

This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in shaping and delivering the external profile of the Centre, working closely with the Directors, Policy Fellow, and Centre Manager, you will produce clear, engaging communications that showcase CenTax’s research and strengthen its reputation as a trusted voice in evidence-based tax policy.
