• Teaching: learning and sharing knowledge
• Advocacy: evidence-based outreach

We are solutions-focused experts in Assistive Technology, Inclusive Design, and Culture & Participation. We stimulate entrepreneurship by developing bold approaches, partnerships and ecosystems to accelerate change.

Based in East London and a legacy of the London 2012 Paralympic Games, we deliver world-class research, ideas and inventions, creating new knowledge, solutions and products, and shaping policy through co-creation, participation and collaboration. GDI is composed of an Academic Research Centre (ARC) led by University College London (UCL) and a Community Interest Company (CIC) and is guided by an Advisory Board of disabled people. We operate in 15 countries and expect to impact 15 million people by 2024.

GDI Hub values inclusion as a core business success factor. We actively seek to attract collaborators from diverse backgrounds and particularly welcome applications for this role from people with impairments themselves, and people from black and minority ethnic (BAME) communities. The role is offered on flexible terms, including location and hours of work (though right to work in the UK is required), and the accommodation of reasonable adjustments is business as usual for us. 

Role Purpose
This role will provide project management and strategic partnership management to drive forward delivery under GDI Hub’s portfolio of work, substantive, including the DFID (Department for International Development) funded ‘AT2030’ programme and other significant GDI Hub projects.  

‘AT2030 – Life Changing Assistive Technology for All’, is GDI Hub’s flagship programme and aims to test ‘what works’ to improve access to Assistive Technology supporting solutions to scale with a focus on innovative products, new service models, and building global capacity. AT2030 is composed of 12 ‘sub-programmes’ of which this role will manage approximately half. These ‘sub-programmes’ include implementation projects as well as challenge funds and research vehicles. A key new activity under AT2030 is the launch of the £4m AT Impact Fund. The AT Impact Fund is designed to tap into the opportunity to support disruptive innovators scale up AT solutions in the Global South, by providing access to relevant networks and venture capability (capital and venture building support).

The post holder will be responsible for projects delivering to quality expectations (internal and client), delivering to scope of project, within budgeted resources and in line with timelines managing challenges and change as these emerge. The post holder will work closely with delivery partners (including members of the GDI Hub team) to ensure projects maximise their positive impact.

The role both takes on new project activity under AT2030 and takes over management of existing delivery during a maternity-cover period.

Role Responsibilities  

• Provide project management to support GDI Hub CIC in the delivery of major projects, including AT2030 taking a lead on nominated programme areas, working independently and proactively.
• Lead on GDI Hub project set-up for the £4m AT Impact Fund working closely with the AT Impact Fund Programme Director, implementing partners and wider GDI Hub Team.

• Demonstrate leadership in driving forward GDI Hub’s vision and programmes of activity working dynamically to maximise our impact.
• Support GDI Hub’s Head of Programmes and Directors in developing new opportunities to drive forward disability innovation, including new funding opportunities.

This is not intended to be an exhaustive list.  The need for flexibility, shared accountability and team working is required and the role-holder is expected to carry out any other related duties that are within the employee's skills and abilities whenever reasonably instructed.

This is a description of the role as it is at present. It is the practice of GDI Hub to review role profiles regularly to ensure that they relate to the role being performed.  These reviews will be carried out by the line manager in consultation with the role holder.

The Global Steering Group for Impact Investment is an entrepreneurial organisation promoting sustainable development and advancing the use of impact approaches in making philanthropic, business and investment decisions to address the fundamental environmental and social challenges around the world. This is ever more urgent given the current covid-19 pandemic and the economic crisis it generates.

The organisation, which is headquartered in London, and with staff in Paris, Buenos Aires and Rome, brings together leaders from the worlds of business, finance, philanthropy and NGOs. The GSG is now looking to appoint an outstanding Market Development Manager to work with the GSG's Chief Market Development Officer and their growing global communities.

The number of countries around the world working with GSG to expand their national ecosystem for impact has been growing significantly. The GSG needs to ensure that it is equipped to consistently provide high-quality advisory, expertise, capacity building support and other services to the NABs (National Advisory Boards), to enable the impact movement to deliver on its ambitions, unleashing the multiplier effect of the GSG's global community. In times of crisis, the GSG needs to provide even more support, proactively anticipating needs, unlocking barriers for capital flows, and offering solutions to critical issue areas, especially in emerging markets where safety nets may not exist for the most vulnerable.

The Market Development Manager will work to develop and strengthen the NABs, with strong focus on DFID target countries. They will play a critical role to support NABs to become effective market builders, enabling more capital to flow towards impact, measurably benefiting people and planet. Working in emerging markets, they will build capacity and guide local stakeholders from across national ecosystems to work together to set up successful, influential and sustainable NABs. This may include supporting them to design multi-stakeholder engagement plans, preparing trips and engagement for senior global leaders to provide additional guidance and inspiration from across the world to a given country.; implementing the GSG NAB Toolkit or other hands-on support, guidance and advice on strategy, communications, policy, governance, and fundraising, amongst others. Overseeing the coordination and reporting of a DFID grant alongside capturing learnings towards the development of new knowledge, content and tools relevant for the community of 500+ NAB members in 30+ countries are key parts of the role.

The successful candidate will be impact focused and interested in social enterprise, development finance and/or the impact investment sector. With a track record of international experience, ideally in Consulting, International Development or Impact Investment, they will thrive in building long lasting relationships which lead to action. Furthermore, they will be comfortable designing and managing complex projects with multiple stakeholder groups, and ensuring they are executed smoothly and with the desired outcomes. The Market Development Manager will excel in a non-profit setting with limited resources and be able to demonstrate tenacity in delivering ambitious projects with a great degree of autonomy, and in collaboration with experts and stakeholders from around the world. A willingness to travel internationally is essential.

In order to apply please submit your CV in the first instance. Should your experience be suitable, we will send you the full job description and will arrange for a call and/or meeting to brief you on the role.
