**Who we are looking for**:
In our external affairs team, you can expect a stimulating and collaborative work environment. Our team is composed of individuals with diverse backgrounds and extensive industry experience, creating a dynamic and engaging work environment. If you are seeking a supportive environment that fosters growth, this role may be well-suited for you. Your expertise and skills will help us further strengthen the leading policy role of Plastics Europe for our members and the plastics industry.
**Who we are?**:
Plastics Europe is the pan-European association of plastics manufacturers with offices in every major capital of Europe. For over 100 years, science and innovation has been the DNA that cuts across our industry. With close to 100 members producing over 90% of all polymers across Europe, we are the catalyst for the industry with a responsibility to openly engage with stakeholders and deliver solutions which are safe, circular and sustainable. We are committed to implementing long-lasting positive change.
**The Position**:
You will be part of the External Affairs unit that is responsible for the Association’s advocacy & policy affairs work that supports and promotes the strategic direction of Plastics Europe and the interests of our Members. The Public Affairs unit’s role is to
- analyse the policy, social and regulatory context impacting the plastics industry.
- develop advocacy strategies on key issues for the plastics industry.
- establish engagement strategies towards internal and external stakeholders. This includes the pan-European network, European institutions, industry specific associations, etc.
- advise the Plastics Europe members and Strategic Councils on policy developments and direction/decisions to adopt.
The aim is to ensure the development of a policy framework which supports the plastics industry’s transition to a climate neutral and circular economy and contributes to delivering on the European Green Deal.
You will be based at Plastics Europe’s offices in Brussels and will report directly to the External Affairs Director. Some travel may be required for this position.
**What does it take to succeed in this role?**:
- Strong public affairs and stakeholder engagement skills. You have proven capacity to develop advocacy & engagement strategies, deal with stakeholders (internally and externally) and broker common positions.
- Robust strategic, analytical thinking and policy awareness of the political and social environment impacting our Members. Coupled to this, you have the ability to interpret and explain complex issues to various audiences.
- Capacity to take initiative and full ownership of the advocacy work for the areas you cover.
- Great inter-personal, external networking, negotiation and persuasion skills.
- Excellent organisational skills, and the ability to manage time and to work to deadlines.
- A pro-active, flexible and ‘hands on’ approach to work.
- Excellent communications and writing skills in English, including drafting policy positions, messaging and consultation responses. Knowledge of additional European languages is an advantage.
**Requirements**:
- strong academic background (a University degree in political science, economics, law or any related discipline)
- at least five years of relevant policy and public affairs experience in the public sector, industry, a trade association, consultancy or NGO.
- knowledge of the plastics industry and its operating model, and capacity to exhibit deep knowledge and understanding of:
- The external context (governmental, regulatory, NGOs, political, value chain, consumer and media) the plastics industry is and will be operating in
- Critical stakeholders and their agendas
- Policy and legislative developments related to the EU Green Deal and Circular Economy Action Plan (e.g. packaging, waste, eco-design, climate policies, bio-economy, chemicals legislation or sustainable finance) and other similar issues relevant to the EU plastics industry.
- The EU decision-making process
- The ability to learn fast, bring relevant and high value experience to debate and support decision-making.
