The National Influencing Manager is an important role in our mission to make dementia the priority it needs to be. This is way more than a typical public affairs job. In fact, it’s not a typical public affairs job at all. We do things differently here. We don’t carp from the side-lines and moan about how bad everything is. Instead, we develop overwhelming, evidence and policy-based cases for change which we deploy based on our deep understanding of a complex, constantly adapting system.
Dementia is a whole system challenge so it demands a whole system approach. That means our National Influencing Manager needs to determine key decisionmakers capable of shaping national policy and then engaging them directly with an overwhelming case for change. Understanding the system is paramount, as is deploying evidence and policy in the most impactful way. We work across England, Northern Ireland and Wales, but this role is predominantly focused on England. It will require close working with National Influencing Managers in the other nations as well as with colleagues in Local Systems Influencing, Policy and Evidence. Integration and teamwork is everything in this role – with colleagues internally and with the system externally.
You’ll lead a team of three National Influencing Officers, and be part of an even larger Evidence, Policy & Influencing (EP&I) function which is laser-focused on ending the devastation of dementia through changing policy. As an integral part of the part of EP&I Management Team, you will share responsibility for management of the sub-directorate.
You will:
- Develop and oversee the execution of a high quality, innovative and successful political engagement strategy, in line with agreed organisational priorities.
- Be responsible for planning, budgeting, reporting, evaluating impact and managing risk across all aspects of our National Influencing work.
- Ensure the experience and insight of people with and affected by dementia is at the heart of all our engagement.
- Embed everything you do in a systems leadership approach, working across organisational and geographical boundaries to achieve objectives.
- Build consistency and understanding around our influencing work across all three nations by developing a shared and equally relevant set of influencing priorities alongside other senior colleagues within the Evidence, Policy and & Influencing team.
- Build impactful, sustainable relationships with senior external stakeholders such as partners in NHS systems, Government, think tanks and other charities (and hold responsibility for identifying and tracking those relationships) to further our strategic objectives.
- Ensure delivery of the team’s National Influencing strategy primarily in England, but to fully contribute to success across the three nations we operate in.
About you
You are dynamic and driven to make a difference. You want to work hard, with like-minded people, to tackle the leading cause of death in the UK. You have experience of management and are able to inspire people to give their best to their work. With your team and others, you can be persuasive and bring people along with you. Plugged in to the external environment, and well-connected within the health policy space, you enjoy getting out and about to meet people and to make connections. You are comfortable working with senior people and decision-makers. As a natural communicator and influences you love finding different ways to communicate our policy impactfully to varied audiences.
We have a lot to offer you in return. Alzheimer's Society has been named one of the Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2023.

We also have flexible working arrangements available and good benefits.

Senior Director of Development & Strategic Partnerships
The Worker Rights Consortium (WRC) is seeking a Senior Director of Development and Strategic Partnerships. This person will lead the WRC’s fundraising and partnerships operations to maintain and grow our financial resources, including working with foundations, other institutional grantors, and large individual donors. The Senior Director will also spearhead external communication about the organization’s accomplishments and strategic vision to audiences relevant to our fundraising and partnership building efforts.
We seek committed, creative, and energetic candidates who have a strong record of achievement as a senior fundraiser.
About the Worker Rights Consortium
The WRC is one of the world’s leading corporate accountability organizations. We support garment workers and their unions around the world who are fighting to end labor rights abuses and win better wages and conditions in the supply chains of major global brands. The WRC conducts investigations in factories in more than two dozen countries, documents and exposes labor rights violations, and pressures corporations to deliver concrete remedies to workers. And we pursue strategies to achieve systemic change: pressing global corporations to sign binding agreements with unions and end the pricing practices that compel their suppliers to pay poverty wages, subject workers to long hours of forced overtime, and ignore worker safety in order to slash costs.
The WRC works in partnership with unions and civil society organizations across the Global South and North. The priorities of workers, conveyed by their representatives, guide our work. We measure success by documented real-world impact: helping workers win victories that improve their lives and vindicate their rights.
The WRC is based in Washington, DC. We have 27 staff members located in the US, UK, Latin America, Asia, and Africa.
Senior Director of Development and Strategic Partnerships
The Senior Director of Development and Strategic Partnerships will lead fundraising, outreach, and engagement for the WRC at the level of both strategy and implementation. The WRC’s current annual budget is US$3.3 million, and we seek to grow this in line with our program strategy to roughly $5–6 million over the next two to three years.
Areas of responsibility include:
- Designing and implementing a comprehensive fundraising strategy to progressively increase annual revenue, including identifying, building relationships with, and securing new funding from foundations, other institutional funders, and individuals, as well as pursuing opportunities to expand relationships with current funders;
- Creating and implementing a framework for strategic external partnership communications, including working with the WRC’s global field team to convey the real-world impact of the WRC’s work and overseeing relevant enhancements to the WRC’s website and other communications pathways;
- Leading on grant writing and framing of external communications;
- Supporting the Executive Director and other colleagues to engage with, and ensure coherent messaging to, donors and other partners—including ensuring that the WRC participates in relevant conferences, convenings, and other discussions related to our organizational mission and objectives;
- Supervising the work of a second development professional who has day-to-day responsibility for grant management, grant reporting, implementation of sub-grantee/grantor arrangements, management of the organization’s small individual donor program, and who also assists with preparation of grant proposals;
- Monitoring progress on grant-funded projects through regular communication with program staff;
- Participating in the development of overall organizational strategy and aligning fundraising strategies accordingly; and
- Contributing to financial reporting and oversight.
This is a full-time position, available immediately. The position is hybrid for a successful candidate who resides in the Washington, DC-area or remote in the case of a candidate who resides elsewhere.
The WRC will consider candidates located within six hours of the US Eastern time zone. For international candidates and US candidates based outside of Washington, DC, the position requires periodic travel to Washington, DC, and possibly other countries in which the WRC works. The Senior Director of Development and Strategic Partnerships will report to the WRC’s Executive Director.
Qualifications
Candidates must have:
- A minimum of seven years’ experience in fundraising for nonprofit organizations and/or seven years’ combined experience with fundraising and strategic communications;
- A substantial track record of successfully cultivating institutional donors and proven experience in establishing new fundraising partnerships;
- Significant experience in communications and storytelling, with an ability to distill complex analysis and program work into communications that inspire and motivate our audiences;
- Exceptional written and oral communications skills;
- Excellent interpersonal skills, including the ability to initiate, build, and maintain working relationships with existing and potential grantors and a global team across numerous time zones;
- Strong budget management skills and experience delivering against financial targets;
- Excellent organizational and project management skills and rigorous attention to detail;
- Energy, enthusiasm, a strong work ethic, and a sense of humor; and
- A commitment to workers’ rights and corporate accountability.

- Experience working in an international context.
Compensation
Compensation for this position is $115,000–$135,000 per year, depending on relevant experience (adjusted to the local currency, where applicable).
