New Business Manager Jobs in Chertsey, Surrey

We are looking for a new member of the team to lead our approach to reporting to our funders and monitoring and evaluating the impact of our portfolio of activities.

The Role

This is a new, but vital role with two major components. First, this role will lead on reporting to the Academy’s primary funders, in particular the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT).

This will require gathering an overview of a very wide range of Academy activity and summarising it concisely in a way that reinforces our strong, trusted relationships with our funders.

Second, the role will lead on our culture of continuous improvement in monitoring and evaluation across the Academy, such that data and insight is used both to improve particular activities and to evolve our portfolio for greatest distinctive impact. These insights will also be an important evidence base for our future fundraising and a key input into how the Academy evolves to address its strategic vision of harnessing the power of engineering to support a sustainable society and an inclusive economy that works for everyone.

The range of the Academy’s work across talent and diversity, innovation, policy and engagement will mean that the role holder will work broadly across the whole organisation and must be confident and highly effective in engaging with experts across a wide range of activities and encouraging them on improving monitoring and evaluation practice.

The role holder must also be confident engaging with strategic leaders and supporting them to use evidence to make decisions on where to focus effort and resources. The role is structured to be flexible to be held between 0.6 and 1.0 FTE with exact responsibilities depending on working time of the successful candidate.

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. Our aim is to make the Academy the best place to work for the staff we have and those we seek to attract.

Why work for the Royal Academy of Engineering?

We’re looking for people who are driven to make the world a better place. If you’re passionate about what you do and want to work collaboratively with talented colleagues to make change happen now and for future generations, we want you to get in touch.

This is the perfect time to join us. We have a dynamic, visionary CEO, a strong leadership team and an ambitious and exciting strategy. The value we bring as experts in our field and change agents is highly recognised and makes the Academy a motivating place to be. Our work today builds on a long, proud history with a focused and ambitious future which we’d love you to be part of.

About EFA

Our classes are spaces to build community and support students to organise collectively around issues like employment and housing rights. Our work currently supports around 400 adult migrants across London.

Organisation: We are a staff team of 8 people supported by a larger team of volunteers and 9 trustees.

Fundraising at EFA: We have one permanent fundraiser at EFA, who works two days per week on this area of work. The majority of EFA’s funding comes from charitable trusts and foundations but we are also funded directly by some of our partner institutions to provide courses for their members. We receive some local authority/EU funding as well. We raise additional funds through individual giving, corporate relationships and earned income. We are keen to explore new areas of fundraising and/or develop some of our less well established income streams.

Equal opportunities

EFA strives to apply equal opportunities principles both in its recruitment and in its work. We oppose all forms of unlawful or lawful discrimination on the grounds of colour, race, nationality, ethnic or national origin, gender, sexuality, marital status, religion, age or disability. 

The successful candidate will be selected purely on the basis of how well they fit the person specification, as judged by their application materials and their interview. 

We would particularly like to encourage applications from people of colour / black or brown people, who are currently underrepresented in EFA (as well as the non-profit sector as a whole). As an organisation which works with migrant ESOL learners, we also particularly welcome applications from people who have experienced moving to the UK, people who have learnt ESOL before and people who have English as an additional language. 

Where two or more candidates are judged to be of equal merit, priority may be given to a candidate who belongs to a less well-represented group.
