About the RAMP Project

The RAMP (Resettlement, Asylum and Migration Policy) project is a cross-party initiative which seeks to reimagine a world-class ethical migration system for a successful and integrated Britain. A system which works for all of us: for communities, for businesses and for migrants.

Started in January 2018, RAMP achieves this by: 

• Seconding high-quality researchers and advisers to a range of politicians, both within parliament and across our cities, so that they can think more deeply and collaborate more widely on migration and integration issues. 

• Advisers are currently working with Kate Green MP, Tim Farron MP, Steve Double MP, the Bishop of Durham Paul Butler, and the Mayor of Bristol Marvin Rees (RAMP Principals).

• Bringing together leaders from a variety of backgrounds and perspectives to work together on policies and programmes that can command support across the spectrum of public opinion. 

• Providing secretariat support for the APPG on Migration

The project has been developed and incubated by the Good Faith Partnership, a social consultancy that exists to solve difficult problems by bringing together surprisingly different people. From early 2020 the RAMP Project will be spun out as a separate organisation to better enable the next phase of its development. The new RAMP Director will lead the project and new organisation, representing an exciting opportunity for someone to shape and grow this work.

RAMP is supported by Unbound Philanthropy, The Barrow Cadbury Fund, EY, Migration Foundation and the Paul Hamlyn Foundation, and Fragomen LLP, the world’s largest immigration law firm, which provides expert technical and legal expertise to the team.

The Opportunity

We are looking for a Director of the RAMP Project who strongly believes in the power of cross-party working and close collaboration between politics, civil society and business to bring about social change. The Director will work closely with an Executive Chair on the new Board of Directors, and our team of researchers and advisers to shape and drive setting up RAMP as its own organisation. 

The Director of the RAMP Project will lead the organisation, shaping its strategy and ensuring its smooth running, including:

• Building on existing funding and securing new funders to provide the resources beyond 2020 and grow its scope

• Leading and managing the RAMP Parliamentary team (currently 4 advisers), providing support, guidance and coaching as necessary.

• Facilitating a collaborative working approach and ensuring the team of advisors have the tools and relationships to stay abreast of parliamentary developments and key legislation.

• Establishing and managing the operations of the new organisation, including HR, Finance, IT, branding and communications

• Working closely with the Executive Chair, Board of Directors and RAMP Principals to set the Project’s strategic direction, plan objectives and drive the organisation to achieve these objectives. 

• Maintaining and growing strong networks of relationships, particularly with RAMP Principals, key parliamentarians and city leaders from across different political parties, civil society and sector organisations, businesses and trade organisations

We multiply the impact of our funding with high-engagement management support and a relentless focus on impact growth and financial sustainability.  The social enterprises Alfanar backs represent a bold and hopeful side of the Middle East often overlooked in the headlines. Over the past 15 years, we have invested in 34 social enterprises across Egypt, Lebanon and refugee communities, tangibly improving over 65,000 lives.  We began work in Jordan in 2019.  For more on Alfanar, see our annual reports on the website.
