The Head of Urban Transformation role leads campaigns delivery and development work across Possible’s ‘getting around’ strategic focus area, continuing our groundbreaking work on campaigning for traffic reduction and sustainable transport across the UK.
This currently includes delivery of the multi-year Get Shady project - swapping cars for trees on London’s hottest streets - and oversight of further work across urban greening, parklets and sustainable urban transport. In the future, this could include other campaigns.
With the support of the co-directors, you will be managing an annual Get Shady budget of hundreds of thousands of pounds, and a team of at least two staff members, alongside key relationships with our partners. You’ll be tasked with overall delivery and impact of Get Shady, supporting other work in your function via line management and project sponsorship, and leading fundraising against existing and new work in line with organisational strategy. You’ll work collaboratively with the communications team to spread effective campaign messages far and wide, and leverage the greatest impact possible in our target communities and beyond. Working within strategy and project plans that have been collaboratively developed, you’ll be free to put forward your own ideas for campaign activities, particularly in response to changing events. You’ll also be expected to act as the main spokesperson for your function, speaking at, for example, local or sector events, and to the media.

Alongside, where time allows, you’ll be supported to develop further campaign and project ideas within the ‘getting around’ focus area. Where additional funding does become available you may be required to take on additional line management and project oversight responsibilities.
As a key member of the Possible team you’ll be part of a small, passionate, nimble, unique and positive organisation that cares about its people, its projects and, ultimately, the planet.

Our work
Our Consultancy Team has an excellent reputation in the social sector. The projects we deliver are diverse in their size and scale, but fall into three main categories:
· Mixed methods evaluation: supporting organisations to help them understand their impact and assess where value is created. We are also experienced in more developmental approaches to evaluation, helping organisations learn and adapt in real time.
· Social research: exploring social issues affecting people and communities in greater depth.
· Learning partnerships: supporting organisations with a more structural learning approach tailored to their context and culture. This can include long-term relationships over several years, as well as shorter more strategic advice.
Alongside or track record and expertise in place-based change and in large, complex programmes of change in places, we work across many policy and practice areas. We have particular expertise around youth social action and safety, systemic approaches, and using participatory, equity-driven approaches.
Our clients
Our clients are charities, local and regional government bodies and funders.
