Business Jobs
The British Academy – the UK’s national body for the humanities and social sciences – is seeking a Monitoring & Evaluation Officer to join its newly established Monitoring & Evaluation team based in the Research Directorate, providing key support in the delivery of the Academy’s strategy.
The Academy recently released its strategy for 2023–2027. Our three strategic priorities for this period are:
- Strengthening and championing the humanities and social sciences
- Mobilising our disciplines for the benefit of everyone
- Opening up the Academy
To support the success of these strategic priorities, the Academy established a new Monitoring & Evaluation team in 2023. The Academy recognises the growing importance of capturing, utilising, and visualising data effectively to ensure we can strongly advocate for SHAPE through appropriate monitoring and evaluation of the work we do and support.
You will play a key role in the new Monitoring & Evaluation team in supporting the development and implementation of a modern, streamlined approach to the way in which we monitor and evaluate our work, particularly with respect to the International Science Partnerships Fund. We are looking for dynamic individuals, either with experience in monitoring and evaluation or transferable skills from other roles, who are keen to be part of a new team and to be a part of the start of a new chapter at the Academy.
The role
The Monitoring & Evaluation Officer will be part of the Monitoring & Evaluation team, reporting to the Senior Data Analyst.
You will play a key role in advising on and delivering the monitoring and evaluation requirements of the Academy for their portfolio of funding under the International Science Partnerships Fund (ISPF). This includes developing streamlined data collection tools that minimise the burden on award holders and Academy staff whilst meeting stringent reporting requirements.
Other responsibilities include the analysis of data and statistics and their visual representation in reports and presentations for internal and external audiences, including funders, as well as identifying how reporting requirements or strategies developed for ISPF might support other British Academy teams and wider Monitoring and Evaluation requirements.
The role is positioned within the Monitoring & Evaluation team of the British Academy’s Research Directorate and works closely with colleagues in the International team, as well as members of the Policy Directorate and staff located in the Development and Communications Directorate.
About the Academy
The British Academy is the UK’s national body for the humanities and social sciences, established by Royal Charter in 1902. We mobilise these disciplines to understand the world and shape a brighter future. Today’s complex challenges can only be resolved by deepening our insight into people, culture, and societies. With a Fellowship of around 1,400 leading national and international academics, the Academy invests in researchers and projects across the UK and overseas, engages the public with fresh thinking and debates, and brings together scholars, government, business, and civil society to influence policy.
The Academy currently has five directorates: Communications & Marketing, Development, Policy, Research, and Resources, plus a small Governance & Fellowship Team. We have increased staffing in the last 12 months and expect to continue to grow this year.
Working at the Academy
Our senior management team has worked with staff to foster a culture of collaboration, respect, and empathy in which all contributions are recognised as we work towards our common goals. Our people strategy and working practices focus on building strengths and sharing insights, with learning and development, wellbeing, and equality, diversity and inclusion at the centre of how we operate as an organisation. Investing in our staff and encouraging a healthy work/life balance is central to our success as we move forward and continue to grow.
Terms and conditions
The British Academy is based at 10–11, Carlton House Terrace, London SW1, a Grade 1 listed building.
