CONTEXT AND ORGANISATIONAL VALUES

There are millions of highly educated, well-paid, politically engaged people who care deeply about the world. Every morning, they go to work in professional services firms, knowing that the firms they work for and the industries that they are a part of are blockers rather than enablers to a just transition.

They look for ways to ‘make a difference’ internally but fall at every hurdle. They think about quitting but feel financially tied to their jobs. They become accepting of the fact that things are how they are. They become disillusioned and start to feel helplessness and even shame. They offer little value to the just transition that the world needs and that they themselves yearn for.

Impatience Insiders’ job is to get these people organised, educated, and mobilised on terms that work for them, and turn shame and disillusion into action and progress. Our ambition is to fill a gaping hole in civil society organising infrastructure and create a permanent piece of the civil society landscape.

We are looking to build and invest in a series of insider movements in food retail, management consulting, advertising, public affairs and finance. By 2030 we aim to see the ‘insider movement’ model mainstreamed as a vehicle for private but collective activism for corporate insiders. Insider Movements will be thriving within scores of just transition-critical industries. The successes of early insider movements will be well known and held as examples of how insider power can help transform industries and drive a socially just and environmentally regenerative transition.

Your job will be to help seed and support these movements as well as helping build the broader insider ecosystem.

OVERVIEW 

This is an exciting opportunity to join and help shape a new and innovative social organisation that is working to train, support and mobilise corporate ‘Insiders’ to help them transform their industries to support a more just and regenerative world. 

If you are someone happy to take initiative, act as a service provider to our insiders, lend your hand to anything/everything with regard to building the organisation, and are drawn to the idea of helping bring to life an ambitious new social enterprise, then we hope you will consider applying.

We believe that corporate ‘Insiders’ have been under invested in, under-utilised and often under-estimated in conversations about how we support a just transition. 

You will be the only staff member but have a lot of brilliant people around you to provide support and we hope that with your support and leadership, we will grow to a team of 3-4 over the coming 18 months. 

We are looking for a self-starter who will flourish as a facilitator of insider groups, as a recruiter of Insiders, as an advocate and sector-builder for the insider community, and as someone who can put the building blocks in place for an organisation that is set to grow and flourish.

To begin with, you will be hosted at non-profit Impatience Ltd who are providing hosting support to Impatience Insiders. 

PERSON SPECIFICATION

3. You are a keen researcher who likes learning about new topics and presenting information back in written documents and briefings;

4. You are committed to facilitating and organising in ways that support diversity, equity and inclusion;

5. You have some facilitation experience and are comfortable building trust with individuals as well as holding space for confidential and sensitive conversations in groups. You have experience of supporting people to work through challenges and differing opinions to get to points of agreement and action;

6. You are happy researching and approaching potential partners, Insiders, etc. without warm introductions and building a new community around this work;

7. You are able to work independently with only light-touch support, self-start and manage competing priorities and multiple groups of stakeholders.

Helpful but not essential experience/skills: 

1. A background and experience of working within food systems; this could be through having worked hands-on on farms, in the public sector on agriculture policy, on corporate sustainability strategies, or through a master’s degree; 

2. A background in project management, public affairs, and relationship management;

3. A background in movement building, community organising, facilitation and/or advocacy;

4. Experience in fundraising and partnership building;

5. Experience in sales, recruitment, hospitality and/or training;

6. Experience of working in and pushing for change in large organisations.

You will have a few key aspects to your work: 

1. Support the Insiders group. Undertaking meeting prep, presenting documents and supporting recruitment and onboarding of insiders;

2. Help research and identify partners to turn insider insights into campaigns to influence change within the sector;

3. Help with the organising of the UK’s first ‘Insider Summit’ where we bring together people doing insider work across a range of industries and forms;

4. Input on the develop the methodology for insider group development;

5. Support fundraising efforts; 

6. Help with the project-management of external agencies that are conducting delivery work for each project, from conception through to delivery and dissemination with civil society organisations, government, media and/or investors.

We are committed to having a team that is made up of diverse skills, experiences and abilities and so if you are not 100% sure that you meet all the requirements but believe you could excel in this role, we encourage you to apply and use the application cover letter to tell us about your experience and what you hope to bring to this role.

This is an exciting time to join us. We recently launched our new five-year organisational strategy Giving hope through life-changing medical research  and you will be crucial in helping us to deliver on this and achieve our vision of a world where medical research improves health for everyone.

We know that by investing in medical research now, we will see life-saving advances in the future.

While the last century has brought huge improvements in the quality and longevity of life, there are still many health conditions which impose a heavy burden on millions of people, in the UK and around the world.

In the last five years alone, we have invested over £25 million into life-changing medical research, focusing on areas that have historically been overlooked and underfunded.  But there is still much more to do.

Looking ahead, we know that nine million people in England alone will be living with a major illness by 2040 – that’s 2.5 million more than in 2019, an increase of 37%.  We will use our unique position, as a broad funder of medical research, to respond to these challenges and fund research in ways that will have the biggest possible impact on people’s lives.

We are broad and ambitious medical research funder and we operate to the highest professional standards. You will lead a department that funds research across the whole research spectrum from discovery to translation, and in a diverse range of priority areas including children and young people’s health, neglected mental health conditions and the impact of climate change on health.

• excellent communication and interpersonal skills, able to evidence relationship building with senior stakeholders and acting as an organisational representative.
• a PhD in biomedical sciences or a degree in biological sciences (or equivalent experience) with extensive experience working in a biomedical sciences funding environment.

Our offer

• from £70,000 for full-time 36 hour week; willing to consider part-time (min. 0.8 FTE)
• 30 days of annual leave per year plus bank holidays (some of which can be used flexibly)

We are dedicated and committed to achieving the most for our donors and our researchers.  And we are involved – constantly looking for new ways to engage and improve.
