Job Description
As a Policy Manager at Heathrow, you will be responsible for developing Heathrow's Government policy requests and engaging with civil servants across various Government departments. The Department for Transport is Heathrow's main Government stakeholder, and understanding its role and function is essential for our Policy team. You will also engage with other key departments, seeking opportunities to collaborate with officials and advance Heathrow's policy objectives.
The Policy Manager will advocate for Heathrow externally, championing core business priorities and key policy requests while communicating the functions and operations of the UK's largest airport effectively. Due to Heathrow's unique role as the UK's hub airport and global gateway, this role requires someone who can work in a busy environment, prioritize issues efficiently, maintain and enhance Heathrow's reputation, work under pressure, and build relationships with a diverse range of stakeholders both internally and externally.
The role will be part of Heathrow's Policy and Public Affairs team within the wider Communications function. It will also require participation in Heathrow's on-call Incident Response Team and working outside normal office hours as needed, including attending stakeholder events like dinners, receptions, and roundtables.
