The role

We are looking for an experienced project and programme manager with a passion for public dialogue to support and deliver work on technology futures and public dialogue.

We believe that engineering plays a vital role in building a sustainable society and an inclusive economy. To help achieve this, conversations are needed between engineers and wider society. In this role you will support the delivery of a programme of public dialogue and listening activities on engineering and emerging technologies, which builds public voice into the work of the Royal Academy of Engineering. This will build on existing work to bring public dialogue into our thought leadership and support for innovation in critical areas such as AI and technologies for net zero. This role will play a leading role in establishing the important practice of bringing public listening into engineering programmes including policy and research programmes, innovation accelerators and international engagement at the Academy.

As a programme manager, you will manage a diverse and innovative programme of projects and events that support meaningful dialogue, deliberation and community engagement activities following the leadership of the Principal Consultant and Associate Director (Engineering Policy). The Futures and Dialogue Team works across the Academy, collaborating closely with Policy, Enterprise, Research Programmes, Communications and Events.

Who are we?

Engineering matters. It shapes our everyday lives, from our ability to turn the lights on, have a hot shower and commute into work, to the mobile phones we rely on to keep connected. It also plays a vital role in addressing some of the biggest challenges facing society today, from climate change to global health pandemics and cyber threats.

The Royal Academy of Engineering is a charity that harnesses the power of engineering to build a sustainable society and an inclusive economy that works for everyone. In collaboration with our Fellows and partners, we’re growing talent and developing skills for the future, driving innovation, and building global partnerships, and influencing policy and engaging the public. Together we’re working to tackle the greatest challenges of our age.

With a diverse workforce and an inclusive and supportive culture, we look to attract candidates from wide and different backgrounds who have a passion for the role engineering plays in society.

This is the perfect time to join us. We have a dynamic, visionary CEO, a strong leadership team and an ambitious and exciting strategy.
