Brussels, Belgium

We are looking for your talent to help us create an inside track to top EU and UK policy makers for our members by providing them with a trusted and neutral platform where they can shape the agenda and obtain valuable insights. Do you have a strong interest in the EU regulatory policies and institutions and will you feel at home in a diverse and informal – yet businesslike environment? We hope to meet you soon!

About the British Chamber:

The British Chamber gives its members the business, policy and personal connections to boost their presence in the heart of Europe.

We organise over 150 events a year covering multiple-industries, from high level strategy through to technical legislative dossiers. This includes off-the-record briefings with senior decision-makers from the EU institutions & member states. Through our EU Committee we create a forum to meet policy-makers and hold close dialogue with the EU institutions and other members with specialist knowledge.

With our international membership, we are an award winning organisation which has doubled in size in the last 5 years. This success, we believe, is due to our focus on delivering content in a dynamic and welcoming environment that promotes debate and engagement. To support this growth and our ambition for the future, we would like to enlarge our team with a Policy Officer.
