Public Affairs Manager / Senior Public Affairs Manager

Public Affairs Manager / Senior Public Affairs Manager London 40 hours per week Monday - Friday, 4 days in the office, 1 day from home.

Shape the public affairs agenda of a market-leading business. Verisure is looking for an experienced and ambitious Public Affairs Manager / Senior Public Affairs Manager to join our UK business. This is a newly created, high impact role with significant visibility across the organisation and externally. Reporting directly to the UK Managing Director, you will have the opportunity to shape and lead Verisure’s public affairs and regulatory agenda at a time of significant growth and change.

You’ll work at the heart of one of Europe’s fastest-growing companies, helping shape how our brand engages with government, regulators, policymakers, industry bodies, law enforcement and other key stakeholders. This is a role for someone who can think strategically, influence at senior levels and, importantly, roll up their sleeves and make things happen.

Why Verisure?: Verisure is a global leader in professionally monitored security services, protecting more than 6.3 million customers across 18 countries. Every day, our teams use leading technology and 24/7 professional monitoring to deter, detect, verify and intervene, helping protect our residential and small business customers from burglary, intrusion, fire, physical attack and other threats. Our mission is simple: to protect what matters most. We are operating in a market with significant potential for further growth, supported by a strong recurring revenue model, long-term customer relationships and a high-performing culture built around purpose. We’re growing fast, we’re doing it right, and we’re still just getting started.

The opportunity: As Public Affairs Manager / Senior Public Affairs Manager, you will take ownership of Verisure’s UK public affairs and regulatory strategy, ensuring it is closely aligned with our business priorities, risk profile and long-term growth ambitions. You will build on strong foundations while developing a compelling public affairs narrative and establishing Verisure as a credible and influential voice across the security, technology and connected services sectors.

The role will span a broad regulatory and stakeholder landscape, including:

• The private security sector and its regulatory environment
• Relationships with police, law enforcement and public security stakeholders
• Consumer regulation and broader regulatory developments affecting our business
• Political and government engagement
• Industry associations, policy groups and other external stakeholders

A key part of the role will be understanding the stakeholder landscape, identifying opportunities and risks, developing Verisure’s external narrative and then driving consistent execution against it. You will also identify opportunities for senior leaders, including the Managing Director and Operations Director, to engage externally and, where appropriate, represent Verisure directly with key stakeholders. This is a rare opportunity to build and shape an important public affairs function within a high-growth, consumer-focused business, with the autonomy and visibility to make a genuine difference.

What you'll be doing:

• Develop and execute Verisure’s UK Public Affairs and regulatory strategy, aligned with business objectives and Group priorities.
• Develop and articulate a compelling Verisure public affairs and regulatory narrative, positioning the company as a credible and influential voice within the sector.
• Build, maintain and strengthen relationships with UK regulators, policymakers, government authorities, police and law enforcement bodies, industry associations and other key stakeholders.
• Monitor political, regulatory and legislative developments, translating complex issues into clear, commercially relevant advice for senior leadership and Group stakeholders.
• Identify emerging regulatory risks and opportunities and proactively develop strategies to mitigate risk and support sustainable business growth.
• Represent Verisure externally across relevant forums, trade associations, industry events and advocacy platforms.
• Support the development of policy positions, regulatory messaging and advocacy strategies across the security, technology and connected services sectors.
