About the Job

Philanthrope is supporting Inside Track with the appointment of a Head of Public Affairs.

This is not a conventional public affairs role.

Inside Track is seeking a senior public affairs leader for a part-time, public-facing position operating at the intersection of policy, media, institutional influence, and public-interest change.

The primary focus of the role is delivery — helping Inside Track establish trusted access to individuals and institutions with the authority, influence, or editorial judgment to drive action.

Role Overview

The successful candidate will be credible with:

Ministers

Government advisers

Civil servants

Regulators

Policy makers

Editors

Journalists

The role also requires comfort with publicly representing and being associated with Inside Track’s work using strong professional judgment.

This opportunity is intended for someone who understands how institutional power operates, how decisions are influenced, and how to build trust with senior stakeholders.

Media relations and PR experience are considered beneficial, particularly where they support public affairs objectives. However, this role is public affairs-led rather than PR-first.
