Head of social impact

Join us in leading transformative social impact strategies that will make a significant positive impact on climate and nature through creativity, advocacy and collaboration.

You will work across our policy, political and communications teams, providing advice and expertise to ensure we are integrating social impact thinking. There will be a mixture of advising and delivery, and responsibilities could include; developing appropriate research methodologies and carrying out research that examines the distributional impacts of policy changes; working with colleagues to ensure our recommendations benefit all people, particularly the most disadvantaged;  developing external communications, including for the media and MPs, that demonstrate our commitment to social impact through the narratives we use and the voices we platform; developing our networks and partnerships to ensure we are working with experts such as social justice or health groups.

In collaboration with the strategy and partnerships director and other relevant senior staff, you will design, raise money for and execute programmes of work relevant to the organisation’s strategy in this space.

For the writing and fundraising aspects of this role, you will need to be a good communicator, and skilled at ensuring outputs and events are effectively planned and executed to deadline. Your goal across the projects you work on will be to persuade policy makers to adopt our proposals, using research and analysis, advocacy techniques or via convening and stakeholder management.

You may be new to the environment sector, coming from the social justice or health sectors. You will have a keen interest in the environment and a vision for breaking down sectoral barriers. You will use your contacts and develop new ones to broaden Green Alliance’s network of partners and influence.

You will be able to work flexibly and create an internal step change in our work in this area whilst using process in a light-touch way. You will be purposeful, adept at problem solving and empowering others.

As this is a new role for Green Alliance, there will be an opportunity to shape the role with the strategy and partnerships director and other members of the senior management team in a way that suits your skills and expertise and Green Alliance.

This role will report to the strategy and partnerships director and will work closely with the research and policy director and political director, as well as other members of the senior management team, heads of teams and the wider staff.
