Senior Policy Officer

A Senior Policy Officer develops and evaluates policies to guide organisational decisions and public programmes. You might work in government departments, non-profit organisations, or private sector companies. Senior Policy Officers focus on researching issues, drafting policy proposals, and analysing the impact of existing policies. You’ll provide strategic advice and ensure policies align with organisational goals and regulations.

Senior Policy Officers play a critical role in shaping effective policies. You’ll need strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and the ability to communicate complex ideas clearly. You’ll collaborate with various stakeholders, including government officials, community groups, and other departments, to ensure that policies are well-informed and effectively implemented.
