ShareAction is an independent charity and an expert on responsible investment. We work to build a world where the financial system serves our planet and its people. 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.

ShareAction’s Financial Sector Research (FSR) team researches a variety of sectors’ performance and publishes regular rankings and analysis, as well as engaging with each surveyed institution and providing them with detailed recommendations for improvement. The FSR team also supports other campaign teams within ShareAction by providing relevant data and increasingly aims to share more data externally, too.

What you’ll do

The Senior Research Officer will contribute to this research, collecting information from institutions and databases, analysing quantitative and qualitative data, producing engaging content, and translating this analysis into actionable steps for institutions in our reports.

This role will sit within the Financial Sector Research team, to benefit from the experience and processes already established for ShareAction’s asset management and insurance benchmarks. While you will focus on the survey of the European banking sector, there will be an opportunity to contribute to and learn about the other financial sector benchmarks as part of this role.

In this role, your responsibilities will include:

• Analysing quantitative and qualitative data and writing reports on banks’ responsible finance performance.
• Coordinating between the Financial Sector Research and Banking Standards teams to ensure consistency across ShareAction’s financial sector benchmarks.
• Conducting research across the themes covered by the benchmarks that draws on internal and external resources to inform survey development and data analysis.
• Using Excel and Python to analyse and organise large data sets (training will be provided for Python if needed).
• Participating in engagement calls with banks and answering technical questions relating to the research content.
• Presenting findings of our work to external and internal stakeholders through blogs, presentations, webinars, and roundtables and supporting the coordination of these events as appropriate.
• Organising and planning work with a high level of autonomy.
• Supporting the monitoring, evaluation and learning of our work.
• Contributing to funding bids and reporting on KPIs to funders where appropriate.
• Supporting the wider Financial Sector Research team to deliver other pieces of research, particularly the asset manager and insurance sector benchmarks.
• Keeping up to date on relevant news and information on the financial sector and the thematic areas covered by our work.

What you’ll bring to the team

This a very exciting time to be joining ShareAction as we seek to develop our benchmarks to increase their impact. In this rapidly evolving field, we are looking for a person with excellent research and communication skills and a passion to make a difference to join our team. We will ensure that you receive sufficient support and oversight to ensure you feel comfortable and knowledgeable in delivering this bold and challenging research.

We welcome 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

• Excellent analytical skills, attention to detail, and a proven ability to conduct qualitative and quantitative research.
• A broad understanding of how the financial sector works and how financial institutions can have an impact on environmental and social issues.
• A keen interest in driving the finance sector (particularly asset managers and insurers) to better serve people and planet.

• Strong communication skills in written and spoken English.

Director of Research, from £70,000 dependent on experience, London and remote.

Are you a professional research manager ready to make the transition to leadership or already leading a team and ready to grow professionally and extend your reach?  If so, you could lead the Medical Research Foundation’s Research department as our Director of Research. 

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.

History has shown us, time and again, that the best way to achieve better human health is through medical research.  Over the past 100 years, we have witnessed monumental advances in medical research. 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. And in many areas of health there is a severe lack of research funding, which is holding back the scientific progress needed to change lives.  This is where we step in.

Our mission is to lay the foundations for ground-breaking new discoveries and life-changing advances.  We give hope to people whose health conditions are overlooked, by supporting research in areas that are underfunded.  We invest in the brightest and best researchers, ensuring the next generation of scientists can continue to solve the biggest challenges facing human health.

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. Visit our website to find out about our strategy to 2029: Giving hope through life-changing medical research.

As Director of Research, you will work closely with our CEO and will be responsible for:

• horizon scanning and landscape reviews to deliver our research strategy and ensure its continued relevance.
• research funding competitions to deliver at least £5m new research per annum.
• ongoing grant management of a £30m grant portfolio.
• reviewing and creating funding schemes to address unmet need.
• our framework for impact evaluation.
• wider development of the charity through membership of our Executive Leadership Team.

We are looking for candidates with:

• significant experience working in a biomedical sciences research/funding environment.
• significant experience of research funding competitions, peer review, and grant management.
• experience of the evaluation of research outputs and impact.
• experience of motivating and managing a team. 
• 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)
• 10% maximum employer contribution
• Life insurance at four times salary
• Enhanced family-related leave and sickness leave
• Learning and development programmes and external training opportunities
• Generous additional benefits including regular team lunches, annual health assessments and optional social programme
• The opportunity to join a dedicated team making a difference to human health

Our team is proud to work for the Medical Research Foundation. We are ambitious for the organisation and for ourselves. We are approachable - providing advice to everyone and explaining our work. 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. 

We value spending time working in-person to develop strong connections with each other and with our mission, and you will be based at our bright, plant-filled central London office for a minimum of three days a week, with the option to work remotely for the remainder.

Who we are

Animal Equality is an international animal protection organisation working with society, governments and companies to end cruelty to farmed animals. Animal Equality has offices in the United Kingdom, United States, Germany, Italy, Spain, Mexico, Brazil and India.

Animal Equality releases investigative materials captured from inside factory farms and slaughterhouses, exposing the conditions that farmed animals face around the world. We publish our findings on television, in newspapers and online. We routinely secure mainstream media coverage, including on the BBC, ITV, Sky news, The Times, the Guardian, New York Times and many more.

Animal Equality also advocates for political change. Our current campaigns include a UK ban on foie gras imports, increased enforcement of existing animal protection laws, legal protections for farmed fish, and Government subsidies for transitioning towards a plant-based food system.

We focus on farmed animals because of the scale and severity of the issue. More than a billion animals are confined and killed for human consumption every year in the UK. Farmed animals also often suffer in some of the worst ways: pigs typically endure painful mutilations, many chickens die of heart attacks, fish are confined in underwater cages, and some farmed animals are victims of deliberate abuse and neglect. But the problem is solvable! By utilising effective campaigning strategies, Animal Equality is having an impact for animals around the world and building a future where all animals are respected and protected, and are no longer exploited for human consumption.

About the Role

Animal Equality is seeking an organised individual, with a keen eye for detail and an ability to multitask efficiently. A supportive, approachable person, with a ‘can-do’ attitude, the successful candidate will be responsible for ensuring the smooth-running of our day-to-day activities.

Expected to assist Animal Equality’s supporters, volunteers, donors, Executive Director and team in the UK, the appointee will be required to handle enquiries, inventory, CRM platforms and more. Completing all tasks to a high standard, the Administrative Officer will be professional, flexible and able to provide the highest standards of stakeholder service.

Salary and Benefits

Salary band £24,000-£26,000, depending on experience. This is a remote working opportunity (UK-based candidates only). The candidate will be expected to attend mandatory monthly team meet-ups one day per month, at their own expense.

• Holiday entitlement equal to 33 days per year (including standard public holidays).
• Personalised Employee Assistance Program (EAP): an Animal Equality-funded benefit that offers employees confidential counselling and advice on a wide range of work and personal issues. The program offers several services, such as a 24/7 confidential helpline and expert Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.
• Flexible hours, with the option to start between 8am-10am and finish between 4pm-6pm.
• Able Futures Support: The service is a nine month, practical and confidential support service for employees whose circumstances or mental health may impact their wellbeing or work. Employees can work with a mental health professional to deepen their understanding of how their mental health may impact them and will build coping skills and resilience to thrive at work.
• Yearly stipend to access learning and development resources, to help employees further grow their personal and professional skills.
• A free vegan lunch every month at the Animal Equality monthly meetups.

Closing date: 5pm GMT on 17th January 2025.

The interview process comprises a multiple-stage interview and Skills Test. The appointment process will run throughout February, with Animal Equality UK making an offer to the successful candidate that same month.

This new role will be responsible for all aspects of administrative support for the operational success of the charity and the successful candidate will want to be part of a faith-based organisation, committed to the mission of the charity both in the UK and the Holy Land.

We have grown rapidly in the last two years and given the prominence of the Israel/Gaza/Lebanon conflict in our domestic media, we anticipate further growth as the charity becomes more prominent and the needs for essential support become greater. Therefore you will be working in a very busy, high growth environment, managing your time between several different tasks and priorities, which may change frequently. You will need to learn quickly, adapt to changing patterns of work throughout the year and, once trained, be capable of working without close supervision in a small flexible team.

The role will be required to help with regular office duties; you will need to be familiar with all aspects of administrative support for the operational success of the charity. You will need to be comfortable working in a faith-based organisation, talking to supporters and clergy across the UK and with our partners in the Holy Land.
