As Innovation Strategy Manager you will lead in helping Battersea learn, experiment and develop new solutions to drive forward our strategic priorities, keeping us relevant, future-focused and generating ever greater impact.
All work is delivered through creativity, collaboration within and outside of Battersea and a deep understanding of our target audiences, balancing ambition and pragmatism.
Why the role exists:
This is a rare opportunity to lead in helping Battersea learn, experiment and develop new solutions to positively impact the lives of cats, dogs, and their owners for years to come. You’ll bring strong strategic thinking, innovation expertise, service design, and leadership skills to an environment focused on meaningful social impact, working alongside a team of smart, compassionate, and experienced colleagues.
This role focuses on broad, organisation-wide innovation - spanning our services, operations, supporter offering, and income generation - with a clear focus on delivering outcomes for animals and the people who care for them. It is not a specialist digital or fundraising role; instead, it centres on identifying the right problems and shaping effective responses. While some initiatives will involve digital elements (and an understanding of this is useful), delivery is carried out by specialist teams both in-house and externally.
Success in this role means identifying high-impact opportunities, aligning stakeholders around them, and ensuring they are taken forward effectively - supporting pilots and implementation where appropriate.
What we can offer you:
In return for your commitment to our cause and to recognise the value of our employees, Battersea offers a range of benefits to support the wellbeing of our employees. These include:
- 28 days of annual leave (plus 8 days paid public holidays) per year.
- Discounted gym memberships and cycle to work schemes.
- Employee Assistance Programme and access to Wellbeing Resources.
- Generous pension contributions - up to 10% employer contribution.
- Free healthcare cash plan, where you can claim for a range of treatment including dental, optical, physiotherapy, chiropody and acupuncture every year.
- Annual interest-free season ticket loans.
We are also committed to providing learning and development to our employees. During your time with us, we provide support for your professional and career development, including access to digital and in-person training programmes, leadership and management training, mentoring and much more.
Our hybrid working model:
We operate a 50% onsite hybrid working model, with our office-based staff splitting their time between site based and home working. This enables our office-based staff to balance the benefits of home working with onsite collaboration and maintaining a connection to our cause.
Diversity and inclusion:
We are committed to providing a welcoming and inclusive experience for all staff, volunteers and trustees and those hoping to join us. We operate an anonymised shortlisting process and actively seek to ensure our process is fair and equitable for all.
We understand the value of diverse voices, perspectives, and experiences to help us deliver even more for our dogs and cats, and we welcome applicants from all sections of the community.
As a Disability Confident Committed Employer we will ask about any adjustments you may need at application and/or interview stage, and if you are offered a role with us, we’ll talk to you about any workplace adjustments you may need to help you perform at your best. Greyscale copies of the recruitment pack are also available on request.
More about us:
At Battersea, we aim to never turn away a dog or cat in need of help. We give each one lots of love, expert care and get to know their characters and quirks so we can find them a new home that’s just right for them. Join us and help us be here for every dog and cat, wherever they are, for as long as they need us.
Acceptable use of AI:
At Battersea, we value expertise. We recognise each candidate that applies to us will have a range of expertise they can offer us, so we want to hear about this in your own words. We understand the support that generative artificial intelligence (AI) software can offer but it can also lead to numerous applications presenting as generic and impersonal. This makes it difficult to gain understanding of your unique experience.
To best showcase yourself, we encourage you to write your responses without the assistance of AI. If you require the use of AI software to aid in completing your application, we ask you use the generative responses as a prompt for writing your answers and avoid copying and pasting. You must also ensure the information presented in your application accurately reflects your experience.
Closing date: 22nd August 2026
All applications must be submitted before the closing date advertised. We reserve the right to close the vacancy early if a high volume of applications is received.
Interview date(s):
First Round (online): 30th September & 1st October 2026
Second Round (in-person): To be confirmed

BACKGROUND
For more than 20 years, Magic Breakfast has been helping children and young people start the day with the nourishment they need to learn, grow, and thrive. But the impact of breakfast goes far beyond food. Every morning, we help pupils arrive at school feeling valued, included, and ready to reach their potential.
Today, 2.1 million children across the UK are at risk of hunger, the equivalent of four pupils in a classroom of 30. Working with schools in disadvantaged communities across England and Scotland, Magic Breakfast is committed to ensuring no child is too hungry to learn. One breakfast at a time, we are helping children and young people build brighter futures.
This is a pivotal moment to join Magic Breakfast. Governments in both England and Scotland have committed to expanding access to free school breakfasts, recognising the vital role they play in children’s wellbeing and attainment. Yet significant gaps remain. Pupils in secondary schools, alongside younger children in nursery and early years settings, are still at risk of starting the day hungry. Hunger does not begin at age five, nor end at age 11, and neither does our mission.
By joining Magic Breakfast, you will become part of a passionate, ambitious organisation driving lasting change for children and young people across the UK.

-
the delivery of high-value reporting and data products
-
the identification and rollout of AI and data-enabled use cases across the organisation
You will ensure that data, reporting and AI capabilities are aligned to organisational priorities, well-governed, widely adopted and delivering measurable impact.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Lead the ongoing development, management and maintenance of Microsoft Fabric and the organisation’s data products, ensuring they are embedded and remain reliable, scalable and aligned with evolving busines needs.
-
Direct the design and implementation of scalable, reliable data pipelines from diverse sources, ensuring data integrity, consistency, and compliance with governance standards.
-
Work with direct reports and stakeholders to assess technical feasibility, dependencies, integration requirements and delivery approaches for new initiatives.
-
Work collaboratively with stakeholders to balance innovation and experimentation with appropriate governance, security and risk management.
-
Maintain and embed the organisation's data governance framework, ensuring data, reporting and AI-related activity is aligned with organisational standards, policies and priorities.

Connecting evidence, community experience and local action to build a shared understanding of East Surrey
Be part of establishing a new Community Insight Partnership.
Are you a skilled relationship-builder who can bring people together, identify themes across different sources of information and turn community intelligence into clear, useful insight?
The Opportunity
ESCIP is a one-year proof of concept designed to strengthen how community experience and VCSE intelligence inform local decision-making. It connects voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations with health, local authority and wider partners, creating stronger two-way feedback between communities and decision-makers.
This is not primarily an administrative post. You will build trusted relationships, coordinate a new quarterly forum, develop practical ways to gather and synthesise intelligence, and demonstrate how insight has influenced priorities and action. Because the programme is new, you will have genuine scope to shape how it works.
What You Will Achieve
Over the first 12 months, you will:
- Establish a quarterly East Surrey VCSE and Community Forum.
- Build trusted relationships with diverse VCSE organisations, including smaller groups and under-represented communities.
- Develop and test practical two-way feedback mechanisms between communities, VCSE partners and system leaders.
- Map intelligence sources and introduce consistent approaches to gathering and synthesising insight.
- Produce concise briefings highlighting emerging themes and implications for decision-makers.
- Maintain strategic relationships across health, local government, housing and neighbourhood partners.
- Support independent evaluation and contribute to the case for Year 2.
Main Responsibilities
Partnerships and Networks
- Coordinate day-to-day delivery of ESCIP, maintaining workplans, milestones and actions.
- Plan and support the quarterly East Surrey VCSE and Community Forum.
- Develop strong relationships across the VCSE sector and with NHS, local authority, housing, primary care and neighbourhood partners.
- Maintain wider partner engagement through targeted conversations, briefings and limited observer participation.
- Represent ESCIP professionally and act as a key point of contact.
Engagement and Community Insight
- Plan and deliver insight activity, including stakeholder conversations, workshops, surveys, desk research and analysis.
- Enable organisations of different sizes and capacities to contribute, particularly voices less often heard.
- Map existing intelligence sources, identify gaps and common themes, and distinguish between individual feedback, recurring themes and wider evidence.
Communication, Influence and Learning
- Turn qualitative and quantitative information into accessible summaries, briefings and recommendations.
- Create visible feedback loops so contributors understand what was heard and what happened next.
- Prepare stakeholder briefings and contribute to programme and funder reporting.
- Work with the independent evaluator and contribute learning to the future development of ESCIP.
Working Arrangements
This is a part-time role based in Oxted with autonomy and variety. Some meetings and community activity will take place across East Surrey, so the postholder must be able to travel within the area. Reasonable travel expenses will be reimbursed.
Occasional evening activity may be required by prior agreement, with time off in lieu. The postholder will work closely with colleagues from VASE and CSVA and will have access to office space, HR support and appropriate IT equipment.
About You
We welcome transferable experience from community development, participation, research, service improvement, public engagement, local government, health or partnership working.
Experience, Knowledge and Skills
Essential
- Experience building productive relationships across organisations, sectors or communities.
- Experience planning and facilitating meetings, workshops or engagement activities.
- Experience gathering information or feedback and identifying meaningful themes and insights.
- Ability to translate complex information into clear reports, briefings and recommendations.
- Ability to organise projects or programmes, manage competing priorities and deliver outcomes with limited supervision.
- Strong written, verbal and interpersonal communication skills, including confidence engaging senior stakeholders.
- Commitment to equitable and inclusive engagement, with an understanding of barriers faced by smaller organisations and under-represented communities.
- Confidence using standard digital tools for collaboration, data analysis, presentations and record-keeping.
Desirable
- Knowledge of the VCSE sector in East Surrey or a comparable area.
- Understanding of health inequalities, neighbourhood working, integrated care or local government.
