Governance Manager
Location: King Cross, London, N1C 4BH*
Salary: circa £37,000 pro rata
Contract: 12 month FTC, part time 0.5 FTE

Art Fund is the national fundraising charity for art. We believe that art can make you see, think and feel differently, and through our work we help make art more accessible to as many visitors as possible, wherever they are.

We give grants to help museums and galleries acquire works of art for their collections, share them with wide audiences, and support the training and professional development of curators. We are supported by our growing membership of 159,000 through the National Art Pass, as well as the generosity of many trusts, foundations and other individuals.

Founded in 1903, Art Fund is a registered charity governed by a Royal Charter that was granted in 1928. Today, we are governed by a Board of 16 Trustees. As well as its legal responsibilities to ensure Art Fund is run in accordance with its charitable objects, the Board also considers applications from museums and galleries for grants towards works of art and other activities. Now, following a recent Board review, and with a new Director in post, Art Fund is at a key moment in its history.

We are seeking a part-time Governance Manager to manage Board and committee meetings and the recruitment of new Trustees, and provide governance support and guidance to the Chair of Trustees, Trustees, Director and senior staff.

Working with our legal advisor and other senior staff, the role will ensure Art Fund upholds good governance practices and provides all support necessary to Trustees to enable them to discharge their legal responsibilities. A major aspect of the role will be taking a lead on reviewing all the recommendations and implementing agreed changes from the Board review.

This role would suit a dedicated charity professional with experience of governance and working with Boards of Trustees, ideally gained in at least two other settings, who is looking to make a real difference to governance policy and practice within an organisation.

*The role's location will be our King Cross office (2 Granary Square, London N1C 4BH), with all staff currently working remotely, as will the successful candidate initially. However, once we are back in the office, there would be a reasonable expectation to work from the office, as regularly as everyone else.

ShareAction and the global system of finance

It is said that “money makes the world go around” but the global financial system in its current form is in danger of making our world a very inhospitable place indeed for future generations.

Though it has lifted many out of poverty, today the global financial system has an oversized impact on many of the existential challenges we face. Biodiversity loss is such an example, as is climate change and the growing gap between rich and poor in terms of both income and health. Investment, lending and insuring decisions can enable destructive and exploitative industries or they can support a transition to a more sustainable way of living and use of precious resources. The latter approach is known as responsible or ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) investment.

ShareAction’s vision is of a world where the financial system serves our planet and its people. Our mission is to define the highest standards of responsible investment and to drive change until these standards are adopted worldwide. We work towards our mission by:

• advocating for change in the investment industry using our research and rankings
• campaigning with allies to strengthen investor stewardship and change corporate behaviour
• pushing for public policy reform to transform the financial system

Position

We are looking to appoint an EU policy officer into our policy advocacy team to support our EU advocacy work. In this role you will help to strengthen the rules and regulations that govern the financial sector to build an economy that is good for people and the planet.

You will have the opportunity to help with outreach to policymakers, writing briefings, responding to consultations, and organising events. To be a successful candidate you will need to be enthusiastic about public policy, interested in sustainability issues (whether environmental or social/labour focused), and willing to get stuck in with any task, however small.

Key responsibilities

Although the role will be varied and open to some change in the activities you will undertake, below are the types of activities that you can expect to do:

• Monitor EU policy developments and update colleagues;
• Support the preparation of policy briefings, consultations, articles and social media posts, taking a leading role where appropriate;
• Support wider ShareAction teams with policy-related input as needed;
• With guidance from your manager (Head of EU Policy) you will research topics of interest to support our policy work;
• Support the team to engage with policymakers, civil society, and the investment industry in order to disseminate and present our positions;
• Help to organise events and meetings focused on policy and attend events and conferences as needed

Please note that this list is not exhaustive and you may be required to perform different tasks from time to time.

Requirements

We are looking for a passionate, determined individual, with the following experience and skills:

Essential

• Experience in a work setting focussed on influencing European policy on sustainability (this may have had an environmental focus and/or a human/labour rights focus or otherwise);
• An understanding and interest in ShareAction’s mission and work;
