About Ambitious Impact (AIM)

Ambitious Impact (AIM), formerly Charity Entrepreneurship, launches organizations that cost-effectively improve human and animal lives at scale. To do so, we find talented potential entrepreneurs and provide them with world-class training, research, mentorship, and funding to start new organizations. 

AIM’s work is grounded in the conviction that the world’s most significant problems can be solved by talented, dedicated entrepreneurs using evidence, innovation, and a laser focus on cost-effective impact. 

Since 2018, we have incubated over 50 charities, providing talented founders with evidence-based intervention ideas, ongoing mentorship, and seed funding. Together, they are estimated to improve the lives of more than 75 million people and 1 billion animals worldwide and have been backed by organizations like GiveWell, Mulago, the Gates Foundation, and Animal Charity Evaluators. 

Our flagship Charity Entrepreneurship Incubation Program currently launches ~10 nonprofits per year. In 2026, we want to double this, launching more than 20 charities improving lives at scale. Our bottleneck to launching more impactful charities isn't funding – it's finding the right people and ideas. Will you join us to help find the ideas that our next founders will turn into world-changing organizations?

If you’re curious what it’s like to work at AIM, we have just created a video where our team sits down to share their favorite aspects of the organisation, who might find it less of a good fit, and what kinds of people thrive with us.

About the Role

As a Recruitment Manager, you’ll drive our process for finding and selecting the founders of the new organizations we launch. This is a highly impactful role, for two key reasons:

1. The number of organizations we launch is currently limited by the number of exceptional founders we can find. Your ability to find and select an additional outstanding founder will likely result in an additional incredible organisation launching. For every Lucia Coulter & Jack Rafferty we find, we can launch another organisation like LEEP, preventing more than 44 million children suffering lead poisoning.

2. The biggest predictor of charity success we have is the strength of the co-founding team. If you can refine our recruitment process to reliably attract and select higher-potential founders, the organizations we launch will help more humans and animals at scale.

Our Recruitment team operates across two distinct, though overlapping, areas of work:

• Outreach - attracting high-potential entrepreneurs to apply

• Vetting - selecting the very best founders out of the applicant pool

We operate as a tight-knit team of four who work flexibly across the two domains. We anticipate a new hire doing both Outreach and Vetting work, with some possibility to specialise more in one direction or the other based on experience and preference. 

At AIM, we prize the ability of staff to work with speed, autonomy, and flexibility. We don’t expect you to have prior experience in recruitment. We do expect you to be a fast learner and excited about taking on whatever work is most essential on a given day. 

More concretely, you’ll split your time between the following:

• Outreach: Designing and executing campaigns to reach promising applicants; writing newsletters, social media posts, and outreach copy; attending conferences and events; and working closely with our communications team to build partnerships and grow our applicant pipeline.

• Vetting: Running multi-stage application processes, reviewing written applications and test tasks, conducting interviews, and refining our selection methods.

The role could be more junior or more senior, depending on the successful candidate: A more experienced hire will take more of a lead on designing the strategy they will execute, while a more junior hire will focus more on contributing to and learning strategic planning for the tasks they will execute at first.
 

Specific Responsibilities

(The exact % split may change based on updates to AIM’s strategy and the number of programs we are running.)

Executing Marketing & Communications Activities [40%]

• Designing and implementing multi-channel marketing campaigns across digital, traditional, and in-person channels (such as our website, newsletter, LinkedIn, job boards, and conferences)

• Identifying and persuading top talent to apply for our programs through one-to-one engagement, such as through LinkedIn, email, and online calls 

• Soliciting and collating referrals for potential top applicants to our programs, especially from members of our community and affiliated organisations

• Writing blog posts, newsletters, articles, and other copy in a clear, accurate, and convincing tone

• Attending conferences and other professional events to represent AIM, conducting talks, workshops, and 1-on-1 meetings

Executing our Candidate Selection Process [40%]

• Evaluating hundreds of application forms and test tasks to figure out which are the most promising, using a wide range of formal and informal indicators, heuristics, and other information

• Conducting and grading candidate interviews to help identify and select the most promising candidates to join our programs

• Project management for each application round to ensure each candidate receives accurate and timely information on decisions, next steps, and other details of the application process

• Automating aspects of the process to increase scalability and reduce staff time

Evaluation and Systems Improvement [20%]

• Collating and refining data on the cost-effectiveness of different communication methods for finding high-quality applicants to our programs

• Analyzing historical data to pull out findings to improve our selection rubrics for future rounds

• Testing potential new communication avenues, such as digital advertising or pitching articles to major publications

About You

We are looking for someone who is adaptable, fast-moving, and singularly committed to using their career to improve the world to the greatest reasonable extent they can. You will bring strong strategic thinking to the challenge of how and where we can find the very best potential founders, and how to select them from our applicant pool. 

We do not expect prior experience in recruitment or communications/marketing. What matters is the ability to learn quickly, work flexibly, and stay focused on impact.

What makes you a good fit:

• Excited by evaluating people’s skills, motivations, and potential

• Great at clear, transparent, and engaging communication - whether in-person or in writing

• Comfortable holding and weighing many different kinds of evidence when making judgments

• Interested in the drivers of high-level performance and how to spot these, such as through a background interest in psychology, sports, or business

• Able to work both independently and collaboratively in a small, fast-paced team

• Passionate about AIM’s mission
   

Potential bonus skills or experience:

• Hiring or recruitment experience

• Familiarity with complex project management

• Marketing or communications experience (especially in nonprofits or startups)

• Data analysis or spreadsheet fluency

• Familiarity with AIM, our incubated charities, and/or the effective altruism movement
   

What We Offer

• A role with huge, tangible impact: the people you select will go on to found and staff high-impact organizations

• Intellectual challenge and steep learning curve across recruitment, psychology, and outreach

• Flat hierarchy, low bureaucracy, and a supportive, impact-focused team of ~20

• 30 days of paid leave plus flexible working arrangements

• Parental, dependents, and compassionate leave schemes

• A range of other benefits, including a payroll giving scheme, staff tenure donation scheme, and a workplace pension

• An annual cost-covered retreat to bring our whole team together to celebrate our achievements

• Dedicated time and budget for personal development

• UK visa sponsorship and relocation support if needed

• A workspace in our vibrant London office hub for impact-focused organizations and AIM alumni, with flexibility to work remotely
   

Possible Progression to Director of Recruitment

While this role is advertised at the Recruitment Manager level, AIM’s current Director of Recruitment will be leaving their role in the next 6 months. For an exceptional candidate, we would be open to discussing an accelerated pathway into a Director of Recruitment position.

In this case, we would be particularly interested in candidates who bring:

• Demonstrated experience in complex project management and running multi-stage processes

• A track record of team leadership and people management

• The ability to provide strategic insight and shape the future of AIM’s recruitment, including the direction of our flagship Charity Entrepreneurship Incubation Program

If you are excited about stepping into a more senior leadership role, you will be able to flag your interest in this in the application form.

Application Process

Our application process is designed to be efficient and informative. Our application is designed to identify and evaluate skills that are actually predictive of an applicant’s performance on the job (such as test tasks) rather than conventional but less predictive assignments (such as cover letters). We only invite candidates to the next stage if we think they have a good chance of advancing, and take care to choose tasks and interview questions that will also give you a good sense of the role and our culture.

For this staff role, we will ask candidates to complete the following stages:

1. Written application (30–60 minutes)

2. Short test task & record interview (2 hours total)

3. Job simulation task (3 hours)

4. Final interview (~75 minutes)

5. Reference check
    

Applications close on October 19th. We assess applications on a rolling basis and encourage early applications. 

Diversity and Inclusion

We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive team. We particularly encourage applications from women, people of color, and neurodivergent applicants. If you need any adjustments during the application process, please email us.

About Trade

Trade Sexual Health (Trade for short) is a small health and wellbeing charity based in Leicester. We currently have eight staff and more than 40 volunteers.

Trade began as a grassroots gay community response to HIV in Leicester in the late 1980s. Throughout the 1990s, Trade worked creatively to spread information about sexual health and HIV prevention to gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men in the city (GBMSM).

Trade has been a registered charity since 2000. Over the last 25 years, our core work has focused on improving the sexual health of gay and bisexual men across Leicester, Leicestershire, and Rutland. We have always taken a holistic approach to understanding and addressing the range of issues that might impact gay and bisexual men’s ability to look after their sexual health. As a result, we started a counselling service – Approach Counselling – to support community members in improving their mental wellbeing.

We now draw on this experience to tackle wider health inequalities related to sexual health and HIV, and to provide peer support for anyone living with HIV in the areas where we work. For a small charity, Trade has always ‘punched above its weight’ and we have a national profile for the innovative sexual health work we do.

We currently hold contracts to deliver sexual health promotion and HIV prevention outreach in Leicester, Leicestershire, and Rutland to LGBTQ+ people, asylum seekers, and a range of racialised communities that experience significant inequalities in relation to their sexual health.
