Hours: Open to conversations around flexible/compressed working, minimum 4 days working per week, 2 days per week in the office.
About the role
At the Motability Foundation we fund, support, research and innovate so that all disabled people can make the journeys they choose. We oversee the Motability Scheme and provide grants to help people use it, providing access to transport to hundreds of thousands of people a year. We award grants to other charities and organisations who provide different types of transport, or work towards making transport accessible. We also carry out ongoing research, in partnership with disabled people and key stakeholders in the industry, to inspire innovations that continue to champion accessible transport for all.
This role is an exciting new opportunity to shape and deliver on Motability Foundation’s aims to become more insights led and to systematically involve disabled people in our decision making. You will support the Head of Insight and Evaluation in providing the organisation with insight drawn from existing research, primary research, business data and through user insight. The role will lead development of a user insight approach and clear mechanisms to involve disabled people in the Foundation’s decisions systematically. The role will establish a user insight research community (akin to a customer panel but broader in scope), which the organisation can draw from for user insight.
The role is also responsible for delivering a strategic research and insight plan for the organisation to inform operational and strategic decisions, including feeding into our strategy mid-term review. Others in the organisations will also carry out research and hence this function has a role in setting standards for quality research, a coordinating role in ensuring a cross-organisational understanding of ongoing research to avoid duplication, and to draw insights and disseminate these to relevant internal and external audiences.
What you’ll be doing
- Support the head of team by developing a strategic insight research plan.
- Lead the delivery of the insight research plan, including developing clear research briefs, working with external suppliers to deliver research and where appropriate deliver research in-house.
- Establish a user insight capability in line with good practice and mature this capability over time.
- In collaboration with key internal customers, establish a framework for when and how to engage with disabled people regarding decisions.
- Develop and set standards for good quality research and insight for the organisation, including ensuring disabled people can fully and equitably participate in research/user insight exercises.
- Ensure that planned research and insight generation by the insight function is completed to a high standard, aligned with good practice.
- Set up and lead a cross-organisational research forum and ensure this mechanism is effective in avoiding duplication and creating alignment.
- Lead development and implementation of a communications plan to ensure insight generated reaches the right internal and external audiences.
- Ensure a framework to monitor and evaluate the usefulness and impact of insight generated is in place.
- Ensure all research carried out by the function meets GDPR requirements.
- Line-manage and develop your line-report(s).
- Be ‘hands on’ as necessary, by leading and delivering research personally.
What will make you great in this role?
The insight capability is a new function in the organisation and as a result this role will lead on its development over time. This presents great opportunities and will require an individual who is comfortable with starting things anew, while delivering on insight requirements and shaping the function along the way.
Your experience
Must haves:
- Experience of delivering user insight and/or running customer/consumer panels and/or working with supporter panels.
- Ability to design and develop research programmes and have highly developed analytical skills.

- Line and/or team management experience.
We feel that experience of setting up and/or managing consumer, customer or supporter panels is relevant. However, please note that as a Foundation we do not fundraise and as such are not looking to develop a supporter panel.
