- Work with the Head of Data, Insight and Supporter Services to shape our future vision and strategy for insight and BI.

- Champion the use of data and evidence in organisational decision making.

- Work collaboratively and flexibly with the wider Data and Insight Team, to deliver a range of data services.

- Keep up to date with innovations in technology related to Insight and analysis (such as AI) and understand how this could help us with our work.

Essential

Every role at Bean Research fuels our mission to be the trusted learning and evaluation partner of choice, helping organisations frame, evaluate and amplify social value with confidence and clarity. Everyone plays a part in delivering work that is rigorous, reflective and genuinely useful while sustaining Bean as a high-quality, values-led organisation.

• to design and deliver an in-kind sponsorship activation strategy across the Institut’s flagship cultural events and programmes.

The role combines community building, relationship management, experiential programming and sponsorship activation. It focuses on audience engagement, visibility and stakeholder experience rather than direct fundraising or financial sponsorship solicitation.

A key dimension of the role is the development of both:

• an in situ engagement programme at the Institut français;
• and a “Hors-les-murs” programme of exclusive events and experiences organised in partnership with leading cultural venues and institutions across London.

Working closely with the Head of Partnerships & Major Donors, the successful candidate will contribute to the Institut’s development strategy by creating meaningful experiences for patrons, sponsors and cultural stakeholders.

• Develop targeted communications and engagement campaigns (newsletters, invitations, tailored outreach)
• Structure and evolve benefits and membership offers for Patrons and Young Patrons
• Develop exclusive cultural experiences and networking opportunities for patrons and trustees

In-kind sponsorship activation & event partnerships

• Develop in-kind partnerships and collaborative sponsorship opportunities for major events including the French Film Festival UK, Night of Ideas and other high-profile programmes
• Identify and engage brands, cultural partners and lifestyle organisations aligned with the Institut’s values, audiences and events
• Develop creative non-financial partnership propositions focused on visibility, hospitality, audience engagement and cultural experiences
• Ensure meaningful and high-quality sponsor integration into events through experiences, visibility and tailored activations
• Coordinate sponsor activations in collaboration with programming, communications and production teams
• Build and maintain long-term relationships with sponsors and institutional partners
• Coordinate delivery and follow-up of partnership benefits and sponsor visibility

Events & experiences

• Curate, in coordination with the Institute cultural teams, selected moments from the Institut français’ existing programme for Patrons’ privileged access, including post-event encounters with artists and production teams
• Lead the conception and delivery of the “Hors-les-murs” programme, developed in close collaboration with cultural teams and hosted across partner venues in London

Profile
