A Policy Manager develops and implements organisational policies, ensuring they align with legal requirements and strategic goals. You might work in government, non-profit organisations, or large corporations. Policy Managers focus on researching, drafting, and reviewing policies, as well as monitoring their effectiveness. You’ll analyse data, consult with stakeholders, and make recommendations for policy improvements.

Policy Managers play a crucial role in shaping organisational practices and ensuring compliance. You’ll need strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and the ability to communicate complex concepts clearly. You’ll liaise with various departments and external partners to ensure policies are up-to-date and effectively implemented.
