Job description

About Pathway Fund

We are the UK's first Black and Ethnic Minoritised (BEM)-led impact investment wholesaler, dedicated to catalysing opportunities for Black and Ethnically Minoritised communities across the UK. Our mission is to address structural inequalities within the UK’s investment ecosystem by providing bespoke and subsidised capital to BEM-led organisations, making it more affordable and accessible to those underserved by existing infrastructure. We act as a funder, convenor, and knowledge builder, bridging gaps between communities, finance, and policymakers to drive systemic change and foster inclusive growth and community wealth building.

Following the receipt of our Dormant Assets funding, we have moved into full delivery mode, with the first wave of Investment Management Organisations (IMOs) already applying. This is a key role for Pathway Fund; the successful candidate will embed existing structures and systems within the organisation while ensuring we remain a learning-led team that constantly strives to improve. As we work to deliver systemic change, this role will serve as a key face of the organisation, embodying our culture of excellence, practicality, and flexibility. We are a small, collaborative team with an ambitious remit and a strong commitment to public value, working closely with partners to ensure we achieve our mission.

Role Summary

The activities of the Programme Manager are key to the deployment of Dormant Assets funding, in alignment with Pathway Fund’s strategy 2026-2029. Reporting to the Head of Programmes, you will act as an operational lead for the Programme team. In this role, you will build upon and embed the existing structures for end-to-end delivery of Pathway’s funding programmes and oversee the effective management of our investment portfolio, ensuring continuous improvement, timely delivery, high-quality outputs, and robust monitoring, evaluation, and learning. This includes the ongoing development of programmes, managing application and selection processes, acting as secretariat for Pathway Fund’s Social Investment Committee, overseeing intermediary contracts, managing stakeholder relationships, monitoring and reporting, and ensuring programme outcomes are met.
