About the Diversity Forum & the role of Senior Associate

The Diversity Forum was established with a core belief: that if social investors themselves are more representative of the communities they seek to serve, then their work will be more accessible and more impactful in those it reaches. In short, if social investment is seeking to tackle inequality, it must ensure it does not have inequality in its own structures and processes. It is a crucial and important time for the Forum to step up and have more impact.

Reporting to the Chair of the Diversity Forum, the post holder will play a crucial part in building on the foundations and achievements of the Forum to date, aiming to improve sector diversity and inclusion, strengthen diverse voices in the social investment market, and develop an understanding of the barriers that some groups face to accessing social investment – all in order to make the movement more accountable, representative and effective.

This role offers an exciting and unparalleled opportunity for someone to come in lead and catalyse real change within the social investment sector.

We’re hiring a creative, innovative and experienced Campaigns Manager on an initial fixed term, one-year contract. This is a critical role in our campaign to ensure the trillions of pounds in UK pensions are invested to build a better world.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a high profile start up committed to changing the world. The ideal candidate must be ambitious, personable, and creative, with a proven track record in campaigns, policy and advocacy. The candidate should be comfortable working in an entrepreneurial environment, be capable of managing multiple priorities in high pressure conditions, have experience working with senior, high profile stakeholders, and come with a background in climate, sustainable finance or development campaigning.

ABOUT US

There’s £3 trillion invested by UK pensions – we believe that money should be moved away from the destructive, harmful investments of the past, and into those which help build a future we can all be proud of.

Spearheaded by film maker, UN Advocate and co-founder of Comic Relief, Richard Curtis, Make My Money Matter works to transform the financial system, so it puts people and planet on a par with profit.

Our campaign includes three core workstreams:

1. Public Campaign: we’re delivering high profile, public campaigning to show the power of our money as a vehicle for good. Using creative techniques, we tell the story of how our money can create a better future for people and planet
2. High Profile Partnerships: we’re transforming how NGOs, businesses, universities, local authorities, and public figures think about sustainability to ensure their money aligns with their values, and builds a better world
3. Policy and Advocacy: we’re working with partners including advocacy groups, government agencies, and the finance industry to create a unifying call for policy reforms that transform the system from within. We’ll advocate for these goals at key national and global moments, including COP26 and the G7

Our campaign has had significant success since launch in July 2020, and we have ambitious plans to grow our impact in 2021 and beyond.
