We’re building a Transport Solutions Team that works flexibly across all the tools in our delivery kit – from grants and innovation pilots to research, partnerships, and commercial interventions. Our growing portfolio includes flagship projects tackling challenges such as inclusive EV charging infrastructure, complex community transport needs, and large-scale research like the National Centre for Accessible Transport.

This is a pivotal role that combines technical understanding, programme delivery, and stakeholder leadership, and is designed to work flexibly across our matrix structure.
While your core focus will be on EV charging, you also may be expected to lead and/or contribute to other transport projects across the transport themes.

What you will be doing:

- Scope, commission and manage projects related to EV charging – such as pilots, commercial partnerships, research studies or funding opportunities – ensuring alignment to strategic priorities.
- Bring technical and market understanding of EV charging (e.g. standards, installation, interoperability, user experience, accessibility requirements) to shape the Foundation’s approach in this space.
- Manage end-to-end delivery of specific initiatives, including planning, budgeting, due diligence, contracting, risk management, and governance reporting.
- Use insight, evidence and stakeholder engagement to shape new programmes of work and ensure delivery reflects the needs of disabled people.
- Work flexibly across our matrix team, contributing to projects or funding rounds outside your own portfolio as needed, and supporting colleagues with specialist input or delivery resource.
- Build and maintain relationships with key external stakeholders, including OZEV, DfT, BSI, chargepoint operators, local authorities, disability organisations and industry experts.
- Collaborate across the Foundation, including with the Insight & Evaluation, Finance and Communications teams, to ensure high-quality delivery, learning and visibility of our work.
- Bring and apply knowledge in key areas as accessible transport, disability, inclusive innovation, grant making or systems change.
- Support the development and continuous improvement of our delivery models, funding mechanisms and ways of working.
Your experience:
Must haves:
- Experience managing complex projects, ideally in EV charging, transport, or energy sectors.
- Ability to translate technical or policy insight (e.g. standards, user experience, accessibility, or engineering considerations) into practical delivery and funding approaches.
- Experience managing projects or funding opportunities from inception through to delivery, ideally across multiple partners or suppliers.
- Strong stakeholder engagement and influencing skills, with the ability to work effectively across government, industry, and the charity sector.
- Excellent organisational and project management skills, with the ability to deliver multiple, complex workstreams to deadlines.
- Strong analytical capability, able to interpret data, research and qualitative insight to inform recommendations and decision-making.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to produce high-quality reports, business cases, and presentations for senior audiences.
- Confident IT literacy, including Microsoft Office (particularly Excel and PowerPoint).
Nice to haves:
- Understanding of EV charging systems, standards (e.g. PAS 1899), and market dynamics.
- Experience working alongside government, local authorities, or industry partners on projects.
- Familiarity with innovation or funding mechanisms such as pilots, challenge funds, co-design, or commissioning frameworks.
- Understanding of wider disability and transport issues, such as the social model of disability and key accessibility barriers.
- Experience supporting or line managing others in a team or project context.
If you’re interested in applying and excited about working with us but are unsure if you have the right skills and experience, we'd still encourage you to apply.

ABOUT THE ROLE
The Access Interns Programme, a partnership between The Kartik Foundation and Variety, provides disabled young people with meaningful corporate internship opportunities to support their career aspirations.

Thank you for taking the time to explore the role of Marketing and Communications Manager at the Family Holiday Charity. We're here to help families facing some of life's toughest challenges to experience the anticipation, joy and impact of a break from the day to day. Can you help us spread the word?
This role is an important one to help us build brand and awareness around our mission and goals - in simple terms, helping more families to get away and ensuring that every family has the chance to go on holiday.
At its heart, this role is about storytelling and our ability to tell stories that capture hearts and minds. Taking ownership of the full story capture and storytelling process, you'll use this output to help build our brand, fundraise and tell our advocacy story. What's new for us in this role is PR - it's just not something we've done before, so you'll build relationships, networks and opportunities with earned media. You'll work with talented fundraisers, partnership builders and operational delivery colleagues to ensure we're sharing a cohesive and coherent message that supports all our audience goals and targets. And you'll get to work with a talented Comms Officer who delivers on our social, email and web activities.
This role is key to helping us make sure we're doing our best for families and putting our best foot forward every time.
It's a varied and fast-paced role (Comms roles are, right!?) that means you'll be involved in planning, creating and managing activities, so you'll need to have some awesome planning skills and be good with interpersonal relationships.
We're a small but flexible team - just like our approach to work. This is a hybird role, and you'll need to come into the office periodically (but none of that performative days a week nonsense!).
It's vital that you're happy and confident in making your next career move, so let's take the time to chat if you'd like to!
Please provide a CV which outlines your skills and experience for the role and a cover letter which briefly explains why you're interested in the role.

This will likely be a face to face interview at our offices in London and will be held on Tuesday 20th January 2026 (this date is subject to change).
We help families get time away together, often for the first time ever, helping to create confidence and hope for the future.
