The New Economics Foundation (NEF), one of the UK’s leading progressive think tanks, is looking for an experienced strategic leader to help oversee its finance, operations and governance.

In recent years, NEF has worked hard to stabilise our finances, improve our systems, and promote an inclusive and productive workplace. We have a solid base to build from – whether it’s the long lease on our premises on Albert Embankment or several long-term programmes of work – and are looking for a Chief Operating Officer (COO) to help us to implement a new strategy and organisational structure, improve our business model and diversify our income, support excellent financial and operational support, and deliver excellent project management and resourcing. Given that our current COO leaves us in mid-December and that the role itself may change over the long-term, we are looking for a COO to join us on a 12 month fixed-term contract beginning in January 2025.

NEF offers generous terms and conditions, including a salary in the range of £78-87k per annum for a 32-hour working week that can be worked flexibly. Most colleagues work two days a week (usually Tuesdays and Wednesdays) in our office in central London, but that can be adjusted up or down depending on preferences. We offer 25 days leave, which increases the longer you are with us, a progressive pension/long term savings scheme and a host of other useful benefits.

A note from the CEO

I applied to join NEF because it is one of the UK’s largest and most-respected progressive think tanks, with a nearly 40 years track record of producing radical ideas and influencing policymaking to deliver a more just and sustainable world. From global debt justice to retrofitting homes, from the Happy Planet Index to campaigning for a 4-day working week, from promoting local economic development to championing the Green New Deal, NEF has been arguing for an economics as if people and planet mattered. 

 Since starting at NEF in January 2024, I have been impressed by the quality of our work and people, the influence we have on policymakers and opinion-formers, and the respect we are held in. That said, from climate change to rising inequality, the challenges the world faces are immense. We are finalising a strategy refresh that focuses on the areas where we think NEF can make the greatest difference.

 I believe this is an excellent time to join the think tank sector. The world needs radical new ideas and workable solutions. I have found NEF to be excellent place to work, full of bright and passionate people, who are equally good at influencing the Westminster policy agenda as they are building power in communities across the country.

 If this is a challenge that excites you, please do let us know!

 I look forward to hearing from you,

 Danny Sriskandarajah

CEO, New Economics Foundation

NEF wants to be an inclusive workplace with a diverse body of staff. We don’t want to conform to the traditional think-tank model where people from certain backgrounds are hugely under-represented. We know we have some way to go in this and are therefore genuinely keen to receive applications from Black, Asian and minority ethnic people; women; neurodivergent people; disabled people; people who identify as LGBT+; people with experience of mental health problems; and people who identify as working class or have done so in the past.

If you are disabled and have the essential skills and experience to do the job we will invite you to an interview. If you need information in a different format please let us know.

We will make use of positive action to select between candidates of equal merit as a way to address under-representation in our workforce.

As we are looking for someone to start in January 2025, we will be conducting this recruitment on a rolling basis and will close it when we have a found a suitable candidate, so please apply as soon as possible. We expect the first round of interviews to be 27/28th November.

 Staff are expected to spend two days a week in our central London office, but we will explore different arrangements with individuals where this is helpful to support making reasonable adjustments for those with protected characteristics and/or caring responsibilities.

You must be eligible to work in the UK, we are unable to sponsor visas.

To apply and for more information, please visit our website.

Please also complete the Equality and Diversity monitoring form.

Do you want to do research that makes a real difference to babies, children and young people?

Every childhood is worth fighting for. This is our belief. It drives us. And it motivates us to maintain our position as an influential, informed and forceful voice at every level. Join us as a Senior Research and Evaluation Officer within the Research and Evidence team and play your part in leading progress that makes a real difference to the lives of babies, children and young people. 

What kind of research does the NSPCC Research and Evidence team do? 

The NSPCC Research and Evidence team carries out, commissions and partners on high quality social research. We seek to answer big and small questions around preventing and stopping child abuse, and how to support children who have experienced it.

• Our research is child-centred, meaningful and useful - it drives improvements to our work with children, families and communities, influences the development of policy and guidance, and contributes to new NSPCC campaigns, as well as adding to the wider evidence base. 
• We also support research activity at NSPCC via our Research Advice Clinic, Evidence Summary Service, and the NSPCC Research Ethics Committee.

 What will the job involve? 

This is an exciting and varied role for a researcher with excellent project management skills. You'll be working with colleagues in departments across the NSPCC including Childline, Policy and Public Affairs, Knowledge and Information, Schools services and Participation. Current projects we're working on include research on technology assisted online sexual extortion, sex and relationships education at secondary and primary levels, problematic sexual behaviour and provision of services to tackle loneliness, to name just a few.

Specifically, the role will involve: 

• Designing and project managing research on a wide range of NSPCC research projects. 

• Liaising with internal and external stakeholders to develop research projects and advising other teams in the NSPCC about how to carry out robust and ethical research. 

• Communicating research findings to a range of different audiences including colleagues, practitioners, decision makers, policy makers, academics and the children and families who access our services. 
• Managing junior members of the team directly and via our matrix management structure.

What experience are we looking for?

You will have demonstrable experience of undertaking and managing complex research and evaluation projects in different settings and contexts. You will have a passion for the NSPCC's mission, and for child-centred, participatory research, as well as a strong understanding of: 

• Qualitative and quantitative research methods, including participatory fieldwork methods 
• What makes research, particularly research with children, safe and ethical.  

Looking for a team that is passionate about what it does? 

You'll be part of the team of friendly and talented researchers. We're quite a big team, which is great for diversity in thought and practice. There are things we all have in common though, namely a passion for doing excellent work that makes a difference to children and a commitment to showing care for each other and those involved in our research through trauma-informed practice and inclusive approaches. We put children at the heart of our work and, in line with the NSPCC's strategic goals, we listen to and take their views and ideas into account wherever we can. 

As a senior researcher you'll no doubt have a thirst for the acquisition of knowledge! The NSPCC provides rich and varied opportunities for this, both through interactions with inspiring colleagues and via structured learning and development opportunities.  It is a genuinely exciting and stimulating environment for someone who cares about research and keeping babies, children and young people safe.

Does this sound like the role for you? 

If you share our values and you have the experience we're looking for we would love to hear from you.

Please note that we reserve the right to close this post early if we receive a high number of applications.

Interviews for this post will take place in person at the NSPCC's Weston House office in London on December 17, 2024.
