We are looking for a Public Affairs Manager for Commercial Aircraft to join Airbus, based in our London office. You will report into the Head of Public Affairs - Commercial Aircraft and Helicopters and be part of the dynamic and supportive Airbus UK Public Affairs team which sits with the company’s legal function.
This is a unique and exciting opportunity to work for an innovative, forward thinking global business who are leading the way in developing the world&39;s first hydrogen powered commercial aircraft. In this role you will work closely with a high performing team and senior internal stakeholders to global Board level, whilst being integral to the business&39; relationship with central and local government.
In today’s increasingly complex threat environment, Airbus brings interoperable and collaborative solutions to ensure superiority for combat systems across the five operational domains: land, air, sea, space and cyber.
HOW YOU WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE TEAM
Manage public affairs activity relating to aviation decarbonisation and technology. This includes involvement in key groups including Sustainable Aviation, Hydrogen in Aviation and the Jet Zero Council.
Manage public affairs activity relating to Research and Technology, working closely with our R&T leads and the Aerospace Technology Institute.
Be a key point of contact for government departments including the Department for Business and Trade and the Department for Transport on commercial aircraft and aerospace topics.
Support briefing for senior management and members of the Executive Committee.
Work with public affairs colleagues to ensure that the Government, officials and Parliamentarians are updated on important issues facing Airbus.
Coordinate responses to select committee inquiries, government consultations and spending reviews.
ABOUT YOU
While knowledge of civil aerospace and the wider aerospace and aviation industry is a bonus, previous experience in the sector is not a requirement. We are looking for a passionate and curious individual with good political instincts, an excellent network and an ability to build their expertise.
You will have a knowledge of Government and Parliamentary decision-making and experience of working on the UK’s domestic growth agendas with extensive networks in Westminster and across wider stakeholders such as think-tanks or trade associations.
You will be meticulous in planning and executing engagements, marrying strategic vision with tactical delivery.
You will be passionate about innovation driven business and the relationship between business and Government.
HOW WE CAN SUPPORT YOU
Many of our staff work flexibly in many different ways, including part-time. Please talk to us at the interview about the flexibility you need and we’ll always do our best to accommodate your request.
Please let us know if you need us to make any reasonable adjustments for the selection process – you can share this with your Talent Acquisition Partner if you are invited to interview. Examples may include (but not exclusive to) accessible facilities; auxiliary aids; room layout, etc. Any information disclosed will be treated in the strictest confidence.
