Policy Operations Coordinator – Europe

We’re recruiting confidentially on behalf of a client. To protect confidentiality at this stage, we’re keeping the company name private. You’ll be seconded into the Policy & Government Affairs team of a category‑leading autonomous mobility / technology business. Full details shared with shortlisted candidates.

A rare opportunity for a hands‑on operator to sit inside a high‑profile policy team and help deliver market activity across the UK and Europe. If you’ve done stakeholder visit planning, VIP logistics, or exec‑level coordination and you like being out in the field making complex things happen smoothly, this will suit you.

What you’ll be doing

• Diary management forंथ senior external stakeholders: schedules, site readiness, on‑the‑ground coordination, and follow‑up
• Travelling ahead of the team to set up new market activity and smooth the path for launches
• Keeping the Europe policy machine running: planning offsites, tracking priorities, prepping leadership materials, and maintaining the master calendar
• Coordinating partners and suppliers locally to ensure sites, vehicles and teams are ready to go
• Helping navigate cross‑border logistics (UK/EU travel, shipping, customs), and documenting processes so each new city is easier than the last

You’re likely to be a fit if you have

• 3–5 years’ experience in political operations / campaign advance / private office support / exec support / project coordination
• Confidence managing VIP run‑of‑show and complex, fast‑moving logistics without dropping details
• Strong London knowledge (venues, transport reality, permissions, timings)
• Discretion, judgement and comfort working with senior stakeholders and sensitive information
• Solid Google Workspace skills and the ability to pick up new tools quickly

Nice to have

• German, French or Spanish
• Experience with UK–EU shipping/customs/travel logistics
• Interest in technology policy, autonomous mobility or urban planning

Location & travel

London‑based, embedded with the client team. Frequent regional travel across Europe (around 50%).
