About the Role
Join the BBC’s Corporate and Stakeholder Engagement team at a pivotal moment for the future of the Corporation, making the case for the BBC during Charter Review and debates on the future of public service media. As a Corporate Engagement Advisor, you will build relationships across key sectors, identify new areas and audiences, and deliver engagement projects that advance the BBC’s policy objectives. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to one of the most significant debates facing UK broadcasting.

Reporting to the Head of Corporate & Stakeholder Engagement, you will help deliver the BBC's engagement with stakeholders and opinion-formers across media, academia, the cultural sector and civil society. Through events, briefings and intelligence gathering, you will help ensure the BBC is informed by and connected to the people and organisations that shape public debate.

The team supports some of the BBC's most important strategic priorities, from the future of public service media and the creative industries to media literacy, technology and the BBC’s impact across the UK. Sitting within the wider Policy and Public Affairs team, the Corporate and Stakeholder Engagement team collaborates across the organisation to strengthen understanding of the BBC’s role and value among key stakeholders and decision-makers.
