Are you passionate about driving impactful medical research? We are looking for an enthusiastic Research Impact Officer who will assist in the monitoring and evaluation of the Medical Research Foundation’s research to ensure our funded projects make a real-world difference.

This is an exciting time to join us as we have recently launched our new five-year strategy. Reporting to our Senior Research Impact Manager, you will play a crucial role in helping us to achieve our mission to drive the life-changing advances of tomorrow by laying the foundations for ground-breaking new discoveries today. We know that many health conditions are overlooked and underfunded, that new health threats will continue to arise, and that there will always be a need for high-quality, high impact medical research.

Your main responsibilities will be:

  • Coordinate the monitoring of the research portfolio by providing day-to day administration and processing annual and end-of-grant reports.
  • Support the ongoing evaluation projects, and other data collection points such are interviews with grant holders.
  • Assist with the on-going development of grant monitoring tools
  • Contribute to reports on impact reporting for our Board of Trustees and wider external audiences.  
  • Work closely with the Communications team to produce a regular research/researcher case studies.
  • Work with the Fundraising team to contribute to materials to tell the stories of the impact of our research to help to raise funds for new research.

You are a motivated and enthusiastic colleague who will help us monitor a diverse research portfolio. You have excellent analytical and communication skills, you are well organised and have the ability to prioritise and work on various projects concurrently. You will use your scientific knowledge to understand the science behind the projects and will develop a detailed understanding of the outputs and impact arising from the research we fund to help communicate their impact. We would like to hear from you if you can:

  • Demonstrate experience working or volunteering in a science-related environment
  • Analyse complex datasets to extract meaningful insights and visualise data
  • Understand complex scientific information presented in reports or publications and explain in a simple way
  • Demonstrate an interest in scientific affairs or medical research.

See attached job description for further details.

Our offer

We will offer a salary of £32,000-£35,000 dependent on experience for a full-time 36-hour week and double-matched pension contributions up to 10% max employer contribution.  We would like a full-time employee but are happy to consider a part-time contract (min 0.8 FTE).  We offer 30 days of annual leave plus bank holidays (pro rata) per year, excellent financial, health and social benefits and an opportunity to join a dedicated team making a difference to human health.  We value spending time working in-person to develop strong connections with each other and with our mission, so you will be based at our central London office for a minimum of three days a week with the option to work remotely for the remainder.
