Impact & Learning Team Manager (Ref 493)
Full time, 35 hours per week
£41,371 - £51,424 per annum, subject to experience

The Institute of Development Studies (IDS) is a leading global charity for research, teaching and information on international development, based in Brighton. Our vision is a world in which poverty does not exist, social justice prevails and economic growth is focused on improving human wellbeing.

This is an exciting opportunity to join one of the world’s leading organisations for research, teaching and information on international development.

The Impact & Learning Team (ILT) works collaboratively with IDS Knowledge Services, the British Library of Development Studies, the six research teams in the institute and their partner organisations to analyse, learn about, share knowledge about and increase the uptake of research knowledge.

We are now recruiting for the Impact and Learning Team Manager to join our dynamic Impact and Learning Team and lead our quest for understanding in this complex area.

The postholder has responsibility for the delivery of a successful and effective programme which provides technical support, facilitation and learning for the organizational development of the IDS Communication Department as well as its partners and peers. As a senior member of the Communication Department, the ILT Manager will actively contribute to the development of the wider Institute.

Given the range of responsibilities and tasks of this position, the post-holder will be expected to have a post graduate degree in a development related field or substantial practical experience and that demonstrates an academic standard equivalent to a PhD.

Applicants should have significant people management experience, demonstrated competency in fundraising and/or proposal writing and strategic planning abilities.

A proven track record in successful leadership through organisational change is also essential.
