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 [https://youtu.be/YjMDSHVCGFQ] 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

We seek two analytic and entrepreneurial Research Managers to contribute to our ambitious research agenda, and scale the Charity Entrepreneurship Incubation Program from launching ~12 charities per year to 20. In these roles, you will be key in finding the ideas we recommend to future entrepreneurs, like those listed on this page.

Research roles at AIM offer unparalleled opportunities to do good through research. Within six months to a year of publication, our work becomes a fully fledged non-profit working to implement the solutions proposed by our analysis. 

You will join a tight-knit team of researchers, which currently includes Filip (Senior Research Manager, Global Health and Development), Vicky (Senior Research Manager, Animal Welfare), and Morgan (Research Director).

“Research work at AIM is really unique in how applied it is. With most other research, you have to hope that you change someone's mind, or that anyone reads it. With AIM, you will have people picking up your work and dedicating their careers to working on the issue you have identified as little as 6 months later.

I've been here for six years because I love the work and think it is rewarding. Even though the process hasn't changed too much over that time, I haven't gotten bored because I kept looking into different ideas all the time, which keeps it new and interesting.” 

Vicky Cox (Senior Research Manager, Animals) - Author of reports that led to Shrimp Welfare Project and Animal Policy International.
 

Core research focus:

We are seeking two research managers to join the team. We prefer individuals who are interested in multiple cause areas and domains.

• We plan to hire one manager who will exclusively focus on human well-being. All else equal, we prefer candidates willing to work on animal welfare as well.

About Climate Catalyst

Climate Catalyst is a U.S. based non-profit dedicated to galvanising the collective power of business, investors, and civil society to influence and accelerate policy change in Asia and Europe. We work to strengthen collaboration and mobilise new actors on pivotal climate challenges to build power and compel political leaders to act at the speed and scale needed to tackle the climate crisis. We do this by: 

• Working behind the scenes with stakeholders in Europe and Asia to identify critical climate issues where action to date has been limited and collaboration potential is high.

• Advising on strategy, bringing creative communications, advocacy and movement building expertise to build power across the climate community to catalyse action. 

To date, we’ve used this model successfully to build a strong and empowered communications network to challenge dominant narratives holding back progress in tackling the climate impact of aviation, to mobilise the business community in support of the EU Nature Restoration Law, the first legislation for peatlands restoration across Europe, and to spark action in India that led to commitment from the Ministry of Steel to develop green steel policy.

• Lead strategies with partners for successfully targeting and engaging businesses to achieve goals and objectives to influence government policy

• In collaboration with partners, strategically engage C-suite executives and senior business leaders in support of campaign objectives, drawing on your network and the networks of other colleagues and partners as relevant

• Keep track of climate policy, technology, and economic trends pertaining to the private sector internationally, and specifically in Europe.

• Engage subject-matter experts, consultants, and researchers as necessary to support our strategies.

• Produce business-orientated outreach and policy advocacy materials – including memos, brief reports, letters of commitments, talking points, and speeches for business leaders.

• Produce scopes and terms of reference for targeted research on essential chemicals which will shed light on trade offs and influence our target audience. 

• Represent Climate Catalyst at relevant events and forums organised by partners and businesses associations.

What You Would Bring

1. At least five years of demonstrated experience in engaging businesses towards policy advocacy relating to climate change issues.

2. Experience engaging with EU policy-making processes

3. Experience of working in multi-disciplinary teams to deliver on organisation-wide strategies.

4. Knowledge and understanding of the key issues pertaining to decarbonisation of the chemicals sector or other industrial decarbonisation policies and areas pertinent to Europe.

6. Strong interpersonal and communication skills including the ability to distil complex issues for a lay audience.

7. Ability to establish and maintain strong working relationships with the network of civil society organisations and progressive businesses.

8. Awareness of the potentially diverse opinions and voices of Climate Catalyst’s partners and ensure they are taken into account in our policy positions and recommendations.
