Practice and Innovation Manager

As a Practice and Innovation Manager, you will lead the design and delivery of a range of practice-based partnerships, demonstrator initiatives, and test and learn activities, helping to turn bold ideas into action and shaping the conditions for community businesses to thrive. This will involve working collaboratively with community businesses, governments, organisations, and networks at national, regional and local levels. It will involve a varied programme of work which could include designing a new initiative to tackle barriers faced by community business, managing grant or investment funds to support activity, convening people from different sectors and facilitating discussions/workshops, or acting as a learning partner to test new approaches and share what emerges to influence wider policy and practice. You will work as part of a team as well as with passionate professionals across our organisation to amplify the efforts of community businesses and put them at the heart of a fairer economy.
