The successful candidate, who will be elected by the membership rather than appointed, will effectively become the face of its step-by-step campaign towards rejoining the EU and help grow its membership, which it calls “the UK with”. describes as a “watershed period” for the relationship. Europe”.
For more information about the role – which is unpaid – anyone interested can email Emma Knaggs at emma.Knaggs@EuropeanMovement.co.uk. The last date for nomination is February 6.
