As a member of the Foundation’s senior management team, I play a key leadership role in the organisation and direct its communication strategy. This includes securing high impact media coverage, expanding its social media reach, overseeing a busy programme of events, and building relationships with key stakeholders such as news editors, politicians and business leaders. I lead communications for the Foundation’s full programme of research and policy work, which includes the labour market, tax and welfare reform, fiscal policy, debt, housing and intergenerational equity.

Working in a busy press office, I was responsible for raising the profile of the TUC and its campaign objectives in print, broadcast, online and social media. I planned research with policy officers, as well as external writers and researchers, and oversaw its delivery through the media.
