Founded in 2010 on the initiative of Lord (Brian) Griffiths of Fforestfach, The Centre for Enterprise, Markets and Ethics seeks to address some of the challenges facing twenty-first century capitalism. Our contribution comes from the promotion of the market economy from a Christian perspective within a framework of calling, integrity and ethical behaviour leading to the transformation of business enterprise and contributing to the relief of poverty.

Our focus is on:

· The moral basis of wealth creation

· Profit, taxation and enterprise

· Vocation to business

· Philanthropy and social welfare

· Ethical challenges

The activities of the Centre include:

· Conducting and commissioning research

· Writing and commissioning the writing of booklets, blogs, book reviews and other written material

To review our publications, please click here.

Over the past 14 years we have seen the consensus broaden around the fact that business is essential to society for growth, employment and opportunity. However, it is widely recognised that it can only be built effectively upon ethical frameworks.

Sitting at the intersection of business, economics and theology, we aspire to reach increasing numbers of senior executives and leaders from across business, the church, academia, and wider society with ethical frameworks of thinking that relate to the real world. We want to influence opinion formers and equip those in business to think through those issues that are relevant to them.

It is in this context that we seek a leader who:

· Is a Christian with a strong personal faith, committed to developing a Christian worldview based on the Bible and relevant to contemporary economic, social and political issues.

· Has a professional background including working at a senior level in relation to matters that are relevant to the work of CEME (e.g. business, public policy or economic or theological research).

Are you someone with a passion for campaigns, flair for organisational leadership and a commitment to climate justice?

You’ll lend your strategic expertise to ensure that our mission of inspiring people to take the action the climate crisis demands is fine tuned to the real opportunities and challenges that surround us.

We have made a commitment to make Possible an anti-oppressive place to work. We’re doing the work to undo inequalities and oppressive systems reflected in wider society, and are an inclusive and welcoming group that wants our team mates and the communities we work with to be able to thrive.

We believe that our team and our projects should reflect the diversity of the communities they seek to serve. We particularly welcome applications from marginalised groups, especially people of colour and other ethnic minorities, people who identify as LGBTQIA, disabled people, those who are neurodivergent, people who have experienced mental health challenges and those who identify as working class or have done so in the past.
