ShareAction is an independent charity and an expert on responsible investment. We work to build a world where the financial system serves our planet and its people. We set ambitious standards for how financial institutions, through their investment decisions, can protect our planet and its people and campaign for this approach to become the norm. We convene shareholders to collectively push companies to tackle climate crises, protect nature, improve workers’ rights and shape healthier societies.

Position
As part of our Health team, the Initiative Lead – Clean Air Initiative is responsible for driving our air quality campaign strategy, collaborating with institutional investors and pushing major corporates to improve their air quality management. This role is key to advancing corporate accountability, deepening stakeholder engagement, and integrating health into responsible investment practices. The Initiative Lead plays a vital role in our projects and campaigns by refining our strategy, prioritising target companies, and leading the execution of our air quality initiatives.
A typical week would see you strategising with investors, developing compelling arguments for change, leading discussions with major corporations, and drafting impactful communications to stakeholders.

We are currently formalising our hybrid working policy; however, most of the Health team meets in the office on a weekly basis (and we require the team to come in at least once a month).

We have been operating in the area for a number of years and offer a staffed service to our residents aged 18 and upwards.
We know that recovery can look and feel very different to each and every one of us. But we also know that if we provide the right support, at the right time, we can inspire recovery nationwide and that recovery is possible for everyone. That’s where you come in. Responsible for helping and inspiring the people who use our services to maintain their tenancy and independence in the community, we’ll rely on you to work with them to come up with a personal support plan that will see them achieve their goals and aspirations. Whether it’s developing their domestic and finance management skills or accessing work, leisure or educational opportunities, one thing’s for sure ‐ you will have every chance to shine.
No relevant experience is required as full training will be provided, although candidates with an understanding of mental health issues and/or lived experience would be welcomed. More important is your caring and compassionate nature and empathy and enthusiasm for helping others. Whatever your background, you’ll need to be happy to work both independently and within a team and willing to be part of a weekly rota system.

About MSI
MSI Reproductive Choices is a social enterprise and registered charity, and one of the world’s leading providers of sexual and reproductive healthcare. We believe that everyone should have the right to choose. From contraception to safe abortion and life-saving post-abortion care, we are committed to delivering compassionate, affordable, high-quality services for all.
We know that access to reproductive choice is life changing. For some, it can mean the ability to complete an education or start a career. For others, it means being able to look after the family they already have. For everyone, it means the freedom to decide their own future, creating a fairer, more equal world.
Today, our organisation has over 9,000 team members working in 37 countries across the world but particularly in Africa and Asia. Our success lies in the fact that MSI teams are locally led, entrepreneurial and results-driven, and are passionate about delivering high quality, client-centred care in their own communities. As a social business, we focus on sustainable delivery, efficiency, and funding models that are built to last, so that the women and girls we serve today will have a choice in the future too.

It runs MSI’s anti-fraud, safeguarding, data privacy and carbon reduction processes, and deals with global government and other large donor funding requirements.

The role has a broad remit, with the opportunity to work with team members in more than 30 countries, enabling the most efficient yet comprehensive outcomes, ensuring informed decisions and identifying and escalating potential risks. Legal, governance or compliance experience is beneficial but not essential as the LSDC Team will offer extensive training on these matters. We are really looking for a super-efficient EA or team manager who we can involve in multiple projects and team activities across the world, however to get the best candidate we would consider someone who in their future is considering looking for a period of recognised legal training leading to the successful candidate taking the SQE.
