If you're an experienced and innovative campaigner, with a passion for making London a city that's great for cycling, then you could be just the person we need as our new Infrastructure Campaigner. Matching excellent analytical skills with good campaigning nous, and the ability to communicate effectively with both decision makers and activists, you’ll help us build on recent successes and achieve the demanding goals we have set to change the landscape for cycling in London.

You don’t need to have prior experience of cycling infrastructure, but you’ll need to be quick to learn, and good at managing competing priorities, while maintaining focus on our agreed outcomes. You’ll also need to demonstrate:

• Experience of identifying opportunities for campaigning, and communicating these to others.
  
• The ability to work with a range of stakeholders, including activists, the media and decision makers.
  
• Good analytical skills, and the ability to share learnings with others.
  
• Excellent collaboration and facilitation skills.
  
  

About LCC

With 40,000 supporters (of whom 12,500 are fully paid-up members) and 33 borough groups, London Cycling Campaign is the largest urban cycling organisation in the world. For over 30 years we have campaigned for better provision for cycling in London.

We work to reduce the barriers that prevent people enjoying the freedom and convenience that cycling brings, and believe that making cycling the number one transport choice for everyday, local journeys will generate immense quality of life, environmental, health and economic benefits for the capital.

Our successful Love London, Go Dutch mayoral election campaign in 2012 won support at the highest level of politics in London (and resonated far beyond the capital); our Space for Cycling campaign is making even bigger waves, and has been taken up by cycling groups across the country; and we’ve got even more ambitious plans for the future.

Would applicants who are more in line with your 'vehicular' cyclists have been at a disadvantage, one wonders?

Good Question.
I was on the interview panel so I couldn't possibly comment.
