Programme Officer Jobs

The learning and knowledge lead is a pivotal role managing the threads that run though all our work and ensuring that they are aligned with the ‘Change We Seek’ strategy and systems change thinking. As a new role in a period of organisational transformation, we need someone that is willing to come on this journey with us as things shift and change along the way. 

Through our learning we want to: 

• Continue to shift and develop how we operate as an organisation. 

• Make bold funding and investment choices. 

• Move closer to the change we seek in line with our mission. 

This role requires someone with an inquisitive, brave, and collaborative mindset who is comfortable working with complexity and thrives in iterative environments. You will have excellent relationship-building skills, working closely with our grantee partners, programmes team, senior leadership team and the CEO as well networks from similar organisations to share and capture learning. We have a strong learning culture and a committed and passionate team who want to make a difference in the philanthropy sector, so we’re looking for someone who can build on our learning and insights, hold us to account, challenge our thinking and amplify the voices of our grantee partners. This role is vital in consolidating our learning and helping us ensure that the ‘Change We Seek’ strategy is embedded into everything we do. 

The ability to communicate learning, insights and Tudor’s messaging in different mediums, to connect and collaborate with different people and the ability to create safe, meaningful and trusting spaces where people can learn, reflect and share is essential.

The role is a blend of traditional knowledge sharing and evaluation alongside entrepreneurial and creative problem-solving, working with complexity and turning it into tangible action. This is a real opportunity for someone to help us navigate our way through change by sharpening our own workstreams and strategies.

In 2023, we launched our Evolve strategy to broaden our offer and we now have leadership skill programmes embedded across more age groups and subjects than ever. This has seen us develop exciting new partnerships and programmes such as our Environment Leaders Programme with WWF and RSPB and a new programme for primary school learners called the Shape Your Skills Award.  

 
Over the next five years we aim to more than double our reach to engage over 200,000 learners. We are committed to learn and evolve for the benefit of future generations, and innovation and measuring impact is a key part of this.  

 As Innovation Lead (Impact and Evaluation), you will use data and insights to support innovation, shape our programmes, and maximise impact. This dynamic role requires a creative thinker who can blend research with fresh ideas, experiment with new approaches, and turn insights into action. 

 If you enjoy testing ideas, working collaboratively, and using data to spark meaningful change, this role is for you.
