You’ll enjoy working flexibly as part of a small, dynamic team, and be up for helping out across different projects. You’ll be organised and self-motivated, with the ability to plan out projects and work effectively with colleagues and stakeholders to deliver them. 

You also need to be politically savvy, interested in pro-European issues, and able to take into account the nuances involved in cross-party campaigning.
