Briefing Hub Officer

We're looking for a highly organised and confident communicator to join the Academy as our Briefing Hub Officer. Sitting at the heart of our briefing activity, you'll help senior leaders make well-informed decisions by coordinating, shaping and quality-assuring high-profile briefings.

You'll manage briefing requests across the organisation, agree priorities and deadlines, and turn complex input into clear, accessible materials such as background notes and Q&A packs. Working closely with senior colleagues and experts, you'll bring clarity, strong judgement and excellent writing skills to fast moving, high stakes work.

If you enjoy influence, pace and precision, we'd love to hear from you.

The Academy of Medical Sciences sits at the forefront of UK health and biomedical research by bringing together leading expertise to shape policy, drive innovation and improve lives.

We are now building for the future. Through a bold and carefully planned transformation, we are aligning our structure, roles and resources with our ambitions to ensure we are sustainable, focused and ready to deliver even greater impact in the years ahead.

At the heart of this is a new Chief Operating Officer (COO) Directorate, designed to strengthen how we plan, collaborate and deliver across the Academy. Alongside this, we are reshaping parts of our organisation so that our people and resources are focused where they matter most - supporting our Fellowship and the wider medical sciences community.

This is a rare moment to join. You'll be part of an organisation with real momentum, working alongside outstanding colleagues and partners, and helping to shape how a respected national institution evolves.

If you want your work to be purposeful, visible and impactful - and to play a role in advancing medical science and improving health - we would love to hear from you.
