YPIP Communications and Engagement Manager

Are you interested in promoting and showcasing a major partnership that will help reduce inequalities and address climate change in Yorkshire and the Humber? Can you effectively communicate and collaborate with a diverse group of stakeholders across the region?

We are looking for an experienced and enthusiastic Communications and Engagement Manager to join the Yorkshire and Humber Policy Innovation Partnership (YPIP), to lead the partnership’s communications and engagement strategy.

YPIP is a place-based research and community-driven initiative with an overarching focus of empowering low-income, marginalised and spatially isolated communities in their places. Led by Professor Gary Dymski at the University of Leeds, YPIP is funded by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) from now through the end of 2026. This partnership will provide evidence for vital decision-making in the Yorkshire and Humber region to deliver on climate change, inequalities and data gaps. YPIP’s partners include academics from all 12 universities in the region, together with members who represent the region’s varied policy-stakeholder organizations: representatives of the region’s 15 local and combined authorities, as well as its business and community sectors. The YPIP Communications and Engagement Manager will be responsible for creating and implementing a communications and engagement strategy for external audiences and internal stakeholders, working with project partners, across a wide range of platforms. The successful candidate will work closely with the project manager and wider Y-PIP team.
