The programme is focused on exploring civil society structures and approaches to encourage philanthropy that is community-led. You will have experience of project managing high value aid projects, ideally with USAID (or similar) funding, and have excellent communication skills to lead on partner liaison, content creation and dissemination of learning. You’ll need to be adaptable (especially considering the context of COVID-19) with a sharp focus on achieving defined results. You’ll manage an innovative programme that will be primarily implemented by a local team in the Philippines, and work with at least two consortium partners, the USAID Mission in the Philippines, and GlobalGiving’s project team. The Senior Programme and Consortium Manager will interact with GlobalGiving’s wider teams in the Philippines, London and Washington DC, particularly with the Evidence and Learning team.
The Senior Programme and Consortium Manager will be responsible for coordinating the inception, start-up, implementation and evaluation of the two year USAID funded project called Assets, Agency and Trust, that is the culmination of a project designed with two consortium partners (Global Fund for Community Foundations and Nonprofit Finance Fund), the USAID Mission in the Philippines and others. Through the duration of the project, you’ll ensure the project is delivered to a high standard, develop engaging content and disseminate learning to ensure research impact is sustained beyond the life of the project.
The Programme: Assets, Agency and Trust
GlobalGiving (the consortium lead) and its consortium partners (Global Fund for Community Foundations and Nonprofit Finance Fund) strongly believe that community ownership is key to sustainable development and that resources generated by and for a community can create durable and thriving societies. Assets, Agency and Trust aims to explore existing and emergent forms of Civil Society domestic resource mobilisation in the Philippines through the lens of Community-Led Philanthropy. Through action research, networking and dialogue, fundraising and philanthropy pilots, and institution strengthening, we aim to generate evidence on how different civil society actors can change in order to encourage locally-owned development solutions. This programme is funded by USAID as part of its Local Works initiative.
The Role
The Senior Programme and Consortium Manager will provide programme governance coordination in collaboration with the in-country Chief of Party Program Lead (who will be based in the Philippines and who will provide day-to-day field-based project management and be the primary point of contact with the USAID Philippines Mission), work with the project team to produce and disseminate high quality research content, and develop external communications strategies.

Job Title: Campaigns and Research Manager
Details: 0.6 FTE. Home-based, with occasional travel. Fixed term: 12 months with a review at six months, and with the potential for extension. Employed by The Ecology Trust. Working hours may be grouped or spread across the working week.
Direct Reports: Emma Rose, Unchecked UK Director
Salary: £24,000 (£40,000 pro rata)
1. ABOUT THE ROLE
Unchecked UK is recruiting a Campaigns and Research Manager to lead on specific campaigns to highlight the real-world impacts of deregulation and the erosion of UK enforcement capacity, with an initial focus on tax.
We are seeking an individual with a campaigning and storytelling background as well as strong research and analysis skills, who is experienced in translating complex subject matter into compelling and creative content.
You will be leading on a new project which aims to show why it is important to close the ‘tax gap’ resulting from weak enforcement of tax law and from cuts to the budgets of agencies like HMRC. You will help us to make the case that recouping this lost government revenue would make it possible to rebuild the other public protection infrastructure on which we rely.
You will be responsible for developing human stories and messages which resonate with the concerns of key voter groups, drawing on the narrative insights from Unchecked UK’s qualitative research, and that of partner organisations like Tax Justice UK. Your focus will be on finding ways to communicate the key role tax plays in a well-functioning, fair and prosperous society, countering the ‘burden’ frames attached to both tax and regulation (‘tax burden’, ‘regulatory burdens’).
You will gather evidence to illustrate the erosion of enforcement capacity in relation to the UK tax system, and carry out investigations and campaigns to bring to life the impacts of this enforcement gap. You will work with our Digital Communications Manager to develop creative assets to communicate these findings to key audiences.
You will develop relationships with other stakeholders working within this space, pooling and sharing data, communications guidance, research and campaign assets.
The initial focus of this role will be on tax, but is likely to spin out into other public policy areas, such as environmental protection, food safety, workers rights and health and safety.
This is a part-time role, comprising 24 hours per week. (These hours may be grouped according to the preference of the successful candidate).
2. ABOUT US
Unchecked UK makes the case for common-sense protections which improve people’s lives and allow businesses to thrive. We are a rapidly growing network of leading and diverse civil society organisations who see sensible, properly-enforced protections as the framework for a decent society - where the food we eat and the things we buy can be trusted, the natural environment is protected, our homes and workplaces are safe, and our rights are safeguarded.
We carry out detailed research and investigations to highlight the loss of protection for the UK public that results from the erosion of vital public protections and the ongoing cuts to the bodies who enforce them. Through public insights research, we help to shape new narratives about our shared protections and the enforcement teams who work hard to keep us safe. We run campaigns to show how important strong rules are to everyday life, and work with our civil society partners to develop policy alternatives to the deregulation approach.
This is a critical moment for the future of regulations and protections in the UK. The combined pressures of post-pandemic recovery and Brexit trade negotiations have the potential to accelerate the UK’s ‘protection problem’, in terms of a new wave of austerity, insufficient regulatory capacity, and a ‘race to the bottom’ on standards.
Unchecked UK aims to shift the political dynamic around regulation, and to build momentum for proper investment in strong rules and the public bodies which defend them. Unchecked UK is a non-partisan organisation, and is incubated as a project of The Ecology Trust.
3. KEY TASKS
The main tasks for the Campaigns and Research Manager role are below. Note that these are likely to change alongside a shift in focus towards other public policy areas.

- Conceive and deliver public campaigns: this could either be a set of mini-campaigns in key electoral constituencies, or a single, longer-term national campaign.

- Share/ disseminate data with stakeholders: through written briefings, graphics, etc.
