Lime is the world's largest shared electric vehicle company. We’re on a mission to build a future where transportation is shared, affordable and carbon-free. Our electric bikes and scooters have powered 400+ million rides in 250+ cities on 5 continents, replacing an estimated 100+ million car trips. Named a Time 100 Most Influential Company and Fast Company Brand That Matters, we achieved a fully profitable year in 2022, becoming the first in our industry to reach this milestone.
We are looking for a Senior Public Affairs Manager to deliver Lime’s policy and public affairs work across the UK & Ireland. You will report to the Director of Policy for the UK and Ireland.

- Build and manage relationships with politicians, local authorities, transport partners and third sector stakeholders to help expand existing services and open new schemes.
- Plan and execute local campaigns on specific issue areas or in specific geographies to deliver positive business outcomes for Lime.
- Partner with organisations in target cities to align Lime’s social mission with existing transport, health, and environmental community initiatives.
- Collaborate closely with other Lime team members on operations, media engagement and marketing.
- Work closely with the wider local policy team to identify growth opportunities and any risks or upcoming policy challenges for Lime.
About you:
- 5+ years experience in government affairs, political campaigns, and/or business development in a government-related environment
- Excellent internal and external communication skills
- Ability to work independently and deliver accurate, high quality outputs at speed
- Strong understanding of regional and UK politics and how to design and implement public affairs strategies to deliver business goals
