Policy Manager / Head of Policy

Where The Advisor (Insight × People) thrives.

Owns a policy area rather than a piece of one: what the organization argues for, on what evidence, and to whom. Sets the position, leads the people producing the analysis, and carries it into the rooms where the decisions are made. The step above analysis, where judgement and relationships do the work.
