Salary: £36,000 pro rata, 3-5 days per week
Experience: Min 1+ year of professional experience
Location: UK based, remote working possible with some travel to London/nationally. Some co-working in Finsbury Park also an option.

CONTEXT AND ORGANISATIONAL VALUES
There are millions of highly educated, well-paid, politically engaged people who care deeply about the world. Every morning, they go to work in professional services firms, knowing that the firms they work for and the industries that they are a part of are blockers rather than enablers to a just transition.
They look for ways to ‘make a difference’ internally but fall at every hurdle. They think about quitting but feel financially tied to their jobs. They become accepting of the fact that things are how they are. They become disillusioned and start to feel helplessness and even shame. They offer little value to the just transition that the world needs and that they themselves yearn for.
Impatience Insiders’ job is to get these people organised, educated, and mobilised on terms that work for them, and turn shame and disillusion into action and progress. Our ambition is to fill a gaping hole in civil society organising infrastructure and create a permanent piece of the civil society landscape.
We are looking to build and invest in a series of insider movements in food retail, management consulting, advertising, public affairs and finance. By 2030 we aim to see the ‘insider movement’ model mainstreamed as a vehicle for private but collective activism for corporate insiders. Insider Movements will be thriving within scores of just transition-critical industries. The successes of early insider movements will be well known and held as examples of how insider power can help transform industries and drive a socially just and environmentally regenerative transition.
Your job will be to help seed and support these movements as well as helping build the broader insider ecosystem.
OVERVIEW
This is an exciting opportunity to join and help shape a new and innovative social organisation that is working to train, support and mobilise corporate ‘Insiders’ to help them transform their industries to support a more just and regenerative world.
If you are someone happy to take initiative, act as a service provider to our insiders, lend your hand to anything/everything with regard to building the organisation, and are drawn to the idea of helping bring to life an ambitious new social enterprise, then we hope you will consider applying.
We believe that corporate ‘Insiders’ have been under invested in, under-utilised and often under-estimated in conversations about how we support a just transition.
You will be the only staff member but have a lot of brilliant people around you to provide support and we hope that with your support and leadership, we will grow to a team of 3-4 over the coming 18 months.
We are looking for a self-starter who will flourish as a facilitator of insider groups, as a recruiter of Insiders, as an advocate and sector-builder for the insider community, and as someone who can put the building blocks in place for an organisation that is set to grow and flourish.
To begin with, you will be hosted at non-profit Impatience Ltd who are providing hosting support to Impatience Insiders.
PERSON SPECIFICATION

-
Able to work collaboratively with partners;
-

-
Able to help build the ecosystem which we are a part of.
We are definitely looking for an all-rounder and do not have a particular experience set in mind.

-
You have some facilitation experience and are comfortable building trust with individuals as well as holding space for confidential and sensitive conversations in groups. You have experience of supporting people to work through challenges and differing opinions to get to points of agreement and action;
-
You are happy researching and approaching potential partners, Insiders, etc. without warm introductions and building a new community around this work;
-
You are able to work independently with only light-touch support, self-start and manage competing priorities and multiple groups of stakeholders.
Helpful but not essential experience/skills:
-
A background and experience of working within food systems; this could be through having worked hands-on on farms, in the public sector on agriculture policy, on corporate sustainability strategies, or through a master’s degree;
-
A background in project management, public affairs, and relationship management;
-
A background in movement building, community organising, facilitation and/or advocacy;
-
Experience in fundraising and partnership building;
-
Experience in sales, recruitment, hospitality and/or training;
-
Experience of working in and pushing for change in large organisations.
You will have a few key aspects to your work:
-
Support the Insiders group. Undertaking meeting prep, presenting documents and supporting recruitment and onboarding of insiders;
-
Help research and identify partners to turn insider insights into campaigns to influence change within the sector;
-
Help with the organising of the UK’s first ‘Insider Summit’ where we bring together people doing insider work across a range of industries and forms;
-
Input on the develop the methodology for insider group development;
-
Support fundraising efforts;
-

We’re flexible about location (within the UK), hours and type of experience, our priority is to find the right person to lead this work who is ready to hit the ground running and has both the track record and skill set to make a success of this. We are committed to having a team that is made up of diverse skills, experiences and abilities and so if you are not 100% sure that you meet all the requirements but believe you could excel in this role, we encourage you to apply and use the application cover letter to tell us about your experience and what you hope to bring to this role.

Are you a major donor fundraising specialist, ready to make your mark tackling health inequalities for people affected by cancer in the North West?
Working for the region's leading cancer charity as their brand-new Philanthropy Manager, you'll put the region's cancer needs first by funding world-class research and award-winning campaigns to tackle the cause, improve the care and find the cure for cancer.
Salary: £40-45k
Contract: Permanent, full time or reduced hours
Location: Homebased with regular travel to HQ In Liverpool and across North West
Benefits: 25 days (+ bank and Christmas closure), 5% employer pension contribution
Culture: Flexible, supportive, able to work with autonomy
About the charity
Living in the North West, we're 25% more likely to be diagnosed with cancer than elsewhere in the UK and many cancers are much more common across the region. The region also suffers from extreme social-deprivation and health inequalities which, when combined, lead to a lower-than-average life-expectancy and poorer quality of life for our communities.
As the charity's first Philanthropy Manager, you'll support high-net-worth individuals to tackle inequality head on and channel their passion to drive change for local communities.
What will you be fundraising for?
This charity has consistently punched above its weight, achieving an impact beyond its size.
Since 2000, they have invested over £45m in vital research activities in the region's top Universities, constantly pushing the boundaries forward in the fight against cancer.
Your fundraising will support influential, region-wide initiatives, including award-winning public health campaigns. Recent fundable projects include a groundbreaking annual Regional Report on cancer and the innovative Lab-Coat Learning education programme for the region's schools.
There is so much to engage and excite major donors who care about improving outcomes for people in the North West. It's all about levelling the playing field for people living with the harsh reality of a cancer diagnosis.
About you
You'll be joining a passionate and well-established fundraising team. The Board and senior leadership are realistic about what it takes to get major donor fundraising off the ground.
Starting from fairly modest beginnings means there is a blank canvass and plenty of opportunity to bring fresh ideas and approaches. There is a genuine understanding that effective major donor fundraising requires strong foundations and a realistic lead-in time to see positive results. You'll be given the freedom to develop and deliver your own philanthropy strategy, analysing opportunities and challenges, and leading from the front.
Ideally you'll come with experience of working closely with individuals in previous roles, have a proven track-record of making high-value asks and be comfortable working to targets.
The role requires someone with emotional intelligence and exceptional communication skills. It's vital that you're a team player - someone who brings out the best in other people.
If you're driven by making a difference in the fight against cancer, then step forward: we'd absolutely love to hear from you.
Please send a copy of your profile or CV to Ellen Drummond at Charity People as the first step.
Deadline: Friday 29th November, however we will be accepting applications on a rolling basis so we'd encourage you to get in touch asap if you are interested
