Department: Core - IT

Reports to: Head of IT

Grade and Salary: £47,500 - £50,000 p/a

Contract: 18-months

Location: Hybrid / London, EC4A and homeworking

The opportunity:

As a Full Stack Engineer transitioning to AI, you will play a pivotal role in designing, building, and scaling AI-driven applications. Working alongside members of Better Society Capital’s teams, you’ll bridge the gap between complex AI systems and practical, user-facing solutions.

We’re not looking for somebody who is already an expert on all aspects of AI but we are looking for somebody that has a good breadth of IT expertise, the ability to translate complex technical language into something that non-experts can easily understand alongside a willingness to quickly learn and master new technologies and tools that will help Better Society Capital pragmatically implement suitable AI solutions to help our staff in delivering on our mission and goals. You’ll need to be a self-starter who is willing to investigate technologies and systems without requiring a great deal of technical oversight and steer as well as being capable of writing suitably targeted reports and deliver engaging content and initial training in new tools and techniques as we adopt them for all levels of staff with varying levels of traditional IT expertise.

What you will do:

Investigate AI tools and technologies

• Assess new AI tools for suitability.

• Continually learn about new AI technologies that are likely to be of use to Better Society Capital.

• Extend use of existing AI and conventional development tools already used at BSC (e.g. Copilot, ChatGPT, Anthropic Claude, Python, Power BI) as appropriate.

• Determine where decisions need to be taken regarding standardisation of tools and software.

Liaise with teams to determine and action suitable use cases

• Work closely with teams in quickly identifying what areas of their work are likely to be suitable for full or partial replacement with AI systems and which areas are less likely to be appropriate.

• Where AI can quickly be put to work in helping teams and the use case is sufficiently well understood, has value and can be quickly implemented, work with the team in doing so.

• Where good use cases are identified by you and the relevant teams, but these are large-scale or have legal, regulatory etc. implications; document at a high level how these could be implemented in future.

• Work with members of the team that are examining and improving existing data quality as well as in their efforts to ensure that collected future data is of high quality.

Work with BSC’s AI Taskforce in promoting AI use

• Champion throughout the organisation how all levels of staff can use AI to enhance their productivity.

• Develop suitable training materials and documentation (technical and user level) for adopted BSC AI systems.

• Present informal “How To” advice sessions on AI usage to staff.

• Contribute easily understood and directly useful AI usage techniques to suitable internal forums.

Assess and improve staff AI take up

• Survey staff for their views on what AI tools and techniques they are finding to be useful and where not.

• Use reporting tools to determine whether and where AI is being used at BSC in order to inform decisions as to the suitability of implemented AI systems/tools.

• Use reporting results to provide more training opportunities where appropriate, improve the usage experience, coverage and capabilities of useful AI related tools. Where tools are not proving to be useful for staff ether improve the implementation and training on the tools, replace them with alternative AI systems that are more suitable or if AI is not suitable in the relevant area, decommission the tool and replace it with conventional technologies as appropriate.

What you will bring:

Skills, Abilities and Attributes

• Ability to learn new AI and general IT tools and technologies without requiring supervision.

• Be able to explain complex tools and terminology to non-technical staff in a form that they will readily understand.

• Be able to identify suitable opportunities for standardising on the most useful tools and technologies.

• Be a self-starter with considerable interest and full-stack level background in technologies.

• Be enthusiastic regarding the potential of AI tools and technologies in helping Better Society Capital to deliver on its mission and goals.

Embody Better Society Capital core values:

Ø  Purposeful –We are passionate and energetic in our work to bring about our long-term vision of a thriving social investment market that enables positive social impact.

Ø  Pioneering Spirit - We give our team the autonomy and flexibility to be entrepreneurial and creative. We have the courage to push boundaries and a restless drive for change

Ultimately the specific systems listed are less important than understanding the relevance of IT systems and how to apply them to real-world issues.

• Demonstrable exposure to AI systems in general.

• Experience of working in close conjunction with non-IT staff, e.g. in IT support, software/systems development including direct collaboration with non-technical teams (preferable).

Global Health 50/50 (GH5050) is an independent, evidence-driven initiative to advance action and accountability for gender justice.

GH5050 was formed around a unique model which brings together the rigour of academic research, the knowledge of how policy change can occur and the momentum of advocates and communicators to catalyse progress on gender equality.

GH5050’s mission is ‘To improve health, well-being, and social justice through the promotion of human rights, particularly in relation to gender equality, by conducting research, disseminating the useful results of such research, and providing information, advice and advocacy.’

Established in 2017, GH5050 is a non-profit organisation (as a UK registered Charity) headquartered in Cambridge, UK, that initially focussed on the health sector and is increasingly active in other sectors, globally and at country level.

Context

Through our flagship annual report and Gender and Health Index, GH5050 provides the only bird’s-eye view of gender, inclusion and equality in the global health sector today. The report assesses 200 organisations across a core set of variables on policies and practices to tackle power and privilege imbalances within the workplace, the gender and geography of organisational leadership, and whether gender is considered in any organisations' external-facing programmatic or policy work.

Based on an approach honed over seven years, GH5050 is planning to now produce rigorous data on the state of gender equality within the finance sector where we will review approximately 200 organisations at the global level. We will subsequently apply a similar approach and methodology in the finance sector at the country level in at least one country. Working with research and advocacy partners, supported by a to be established advisory group, experts and a team of research consultants, GH5050 plans to leverage the data to engage with the assessed organisations directly. The work undertaken by GH5050 in the finance sector is part of a wider advocacy coalition supported by our funder aiming to drive organisational change for a more diverse, inclusive and equitable global finance sector.
