About Global Health 50/50
Global Health 50/50 (GH5050) is an independent, evidence-driven initiative to advance action and accountability for gender equality. GH5050 was formed around a unique model which brings together the rigour of academic research, the knowledge of how policy change can occur and the momentum of advocates and communicators to catalyse progress on gender equality. GH5050’s mission is ‘To improve health, well-being, and social justice through the promotion of human rights, particularly in relation to gender equality, by conducting research, disseminating the useful results of such research, and providing information, advice and advocacy.’ Established in 2017, GH5050 is a non-profit organisation (as a UK registered charity) headquartered in Cambridge, UK, that initially focussed on the health sector and is increasingly active in the justice and finance systems, globally and at country level.

We set ambitious standards for how financial institutions, through their investment decisions, can protect our planet and its people and campaign for this approach to become the norm. We convene shareholders to collectively push companies to tackle the climate crisis, protect nature, improve workers’ rights and shape healthier societies. In the UK and EU, we advocate for financial regulation that has society’s best interests at its core.
What you’ll do
The Corporate Climate team works to pressure some of the world’s largest companies to act on climate change and transition away from fossil fuels. We do this by working with investors, through a combination of public campaigning and private engagement, and encouraging them to use their shareholder rights for change.
Working with the Senior Research Manager, you will produce research and analysis on high-carbon sectors and companies, their business strategies, their climate impacts, and how they can decarbonise. Our research needs are varied, from technical deep dives into new technologies to quick-fire briefings on companies’ new climate targets. To separate facts from greenwashing, an eye for detail is a must.
You will work closely with the Campaign Manager and Communications team to promote our research to investors and public audiences. You will also contribute to other climate-related work inside ShareAction and manage relationships with a range of civil society organisations across the climate movement.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Conducting and leading research on a broad range of topics at the intersection of climate change, the financial system, and a number of industry sectors. Our current focus is on European chemicals, but future work may include work on real estate, energy, and the food system.
- Producing reports, briefings and ad-hoc research for a range of audiences, including investors and the media.
- Supporting the climate campaigns team to prepare for meetings with companies and financial institutions.
- Working closely with our internal communications team to coordinate press and social media around publications and collaborate with other teams across the organisation as needed.
- Liaising with external audiences and developing/maintaining relationships with civil society organisations and financial institutions.
- Identifying new developments and trends in the external environment which may provide opportunities for our mission.
If this role sounds like something that would build on your current skill set and engage you, we’d love to hear from you!
What you’ll bring to the team
We’re looking for an analyst with excellent communication skills and a strong interest in decarbonisation. You needn’t have worked on the sectors we cover, so long as you want to put your skills to tackling climate change now.
We welcome applications from anyone who shares our passion for environmental and social justice through the transformation of the financial sector. Please feel free to apply even if you’re not sure you tick every box.
Essential
You will:
- Have experience of leading or being part of a research project.
- Have a good understanding of how climate change affects companies in a range of sectors and an awareness of how climate change creates risks for financial institutions.
- Have strong analytical skills, being able to quickly grasp new, complex subjects and pull out relevant insights.
- Be comfortable analysing, manipulating, and presenting quantitative information.
- Have excellent written and verbal English and be able to communicate complex topics to a variety of audiences.
- Be able to plan, manage and deliver your work to agreed objectives and timelines, balancing competing priorities and reprioritising when needed.
- Be a natural collaborator and team player with strong interpersonal skills.
- Have a good working knowledge of Microsoft Office applications, particularly Excel and PowerPoint.
Desirable
- Any experience working as an analyst in financial services or industry experience in energy, heavy industry, the food sector, or real estate.
- An understanding of companies’ financial reporting (being able to read balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow statements).

Role Details & Staff Benefits
Salary: £75,000 - £85,000, depending on experience
Duration: Permanent contract
Hours: Full time
Location: Hybrid – attendance at the NASP office at London’s Royal Festival Hall will be
required up to 2 days per week, as well as travel for site visits, staff days, and external
meetings as required.
NASP offer a range of core benefits for staff on payroll, including:

• An additional day of paid leave per year on your birthday
• Opportunities for Volunteering & CPD days each year
• Opportunity to request flexible working arrangements, including compressed hours
• Contribution to annual eye test, eyeglass purchase, and flu vaccination
Purpose of This Role:
NASP is a highly ambitious charity, founded by government and working across diverse
sectors to improve healthcare in England and across the world through the development of
social prescribing. This is a senior leadership role to shape our future strategy and develop
existing and new partnerships with government departments, national agencies, charities,
business, the NHS and others to deliver this.
We are seeking an experienced senior leader, an optimist with strategic vision and a high
degree of intellect who can collaborate with other leaders to design and deliver solutions to
our most pressing problems in health and wellbeing. The postholder will navigate highly
complex systems and networks and need to be very politically astute, diplomatic and excel
at building relationships with trust and integrity.

million-pound programmes reporting to government departments (for example working
closely with DEFRA to lead the Treasury-funded ‘Tackling and preventing mental ill health
through green social prescribing’ programme). Therefore, a focus on delivery and achieving
outputs and outcomes is just as important as strategic vision.
NASP also works internationally and there will be opportunities to travel regularly, for
example supporting our network of global contacts with events (most recently the Canadian
International Social Prescribing Conference).
The ideal candidate will be highly articulate, a persuasive public speaker, with a proven track
record of delivering complex high impact partnerships which make a measurable impact.
You will need to be comfortable advocating for social prescribing at the highest level; to
