We’re recruiting: Chief Executive Officer

The Finance Innovation Lab works for a financial system that serves people and planet – one that’s democratic, responsible and fair. We incubate the ideas and people with the potential to transform the system, and we advocate for changes in the rules that shape the way finance works.

We’re a unique charity with a global reputation as a pioneer in systems change. Our work is driven by the belief that the dysfunctions of our financial system contribute to some of our most pressing social and environmental challenges, from fossil fuel extraction to unaffordable housing, but that it doesn’t have to be this way: people created the system and people can change it.

The Lab began as a collaboration between WWF-UK and the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales in 2009, and became an independent charity in 2015. We’re incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved since independence, including:

• Lab Fellowship, our flagship programme for financial innovators focused on social and environmental impact
• Our groundbreaking report The Regulatory Compass, arguing that policymakers and regulators should put social purpose at the heart of their work
• Our pioneering work supporting finance professionals to transform their organisations from the inside
• Our growing community of changemakers in finance – innovators, intrapreneurs and influencers all working to build a better financial system.
• Our highly-regarded publication A Strategy for Systems Change, documenting the Lab’s journey from conception to independence.

This is a unique opportunity to lead a global pioneer in systems change. You’ll shape our vision and strategy for a financial system that serves people and planet, guiding our programmes and scaling our work to achieve maximum impact. Acting as a strategic partner to our COO, you’ll support the development and delivery of the Lab’s financial strategy and operational plans, and you’ll work with the COO, chair and vice-chairs to ensure we have a strong, engaged board.

You’ll lead our relationships with a wide range of influentials, harnessing our networks to develop powerful new initiatives and secure new sources of income for the Lab. You’ll build our reputation as a thought leader and maximise our brand profile with key audiences, and you’ll lead our relationships with key funders. As custodian of our methodologies and theory of change, you’ll ensure we’re responsive to change and we embed evaluation and learning throughout our work. You’ll lead and inspire our team to fulfil their potential, and support them to develop thought leadership around their work.

In all of your work and relationships, you’ll reflect the unique nature of the Lab’s approach to financial systems change and you’ll act in line with our values of collaboration, action learning and empowerment.

The role involves frequent travel, both in the UK and internationally, and you’ll need to attend events in the evening and at weekends (for which time off in lieu can be claimed). You’ll be based in our modern offices in Farringdon, with flexible working hours and scope for remote or home working some of the time. We also welcome applications from candidates wishing to job share, either individually or in a pair.

The person specification asks for a wide range of competencies and we recognise that we’re unlikely to find a candidate who fits every requirement. If you don’t meet all of the essential requirements but still believe you could thrive in the CEO role, please consider applying or get in touch to discuss your fit for the role.

Please note that from 20 December to 6 January we will have reduced capacity for responding to enquiries, so we encourage you to contact us as soon as possible.

Applications close at 9.00am on 7 January 2020. Please do not send a CV or letter of application – these will not be read.

At WWF-UK we are committed to creating an inclusive working environment, where diversity is valued and there is equality of opportunity. We therefore welcome applications from all sections of the community and we offer a range of benefits to encourage a work life balance.

Our world needs you like never before. We are the first generation to know we are destroying the world and we could be the last that can do anything about it. We’re looking for people who are passionate about making it politically, socially and economically unacceptable to destroy our planet’s natural resources. We need you to join us in the fight for our world.

Hello. How are you? It’s nice to meet you. We are Erik and Henry, we’re the founders of a rather cool startup called Watobe.

We’ve moved down to Cape Town to build a tech solution to the education crisis. We’ve started by making an Android app to help high school students with mathematics. We’re aiming to help provide a quality education to half a billion kids across Africa. It’s early days, but so far things are looking promising! 

We’re running at a hundred miles an hour right now, building our product and using it with our kids. We could really do with another pair of hands. We’re kinda hoping that might be you.

So if you fancy the adventure of a lifetime and the idea of living in Cape Town for a couple of years appeals (trust us, this place and the lifestyle is incredible) then read on, friend - we might be about to change your life.

What would you be doing?

• The role is so varied that “smart generalist” was the best job title we could come up with

• In a nutshell, you’ll help us work through our operational scaling challenges as we grow by orders of magnitude

• You’ll be figuring out how to automate a bunch of processes so we can keep our service cheap enough to help the continent’s poorest kids

• Crunching a ton of data, finding patterns and creating the eureka moments that we can all celebrate (maybe with a drink if you’re up for it?)

• Talking to parents, kids and teachers

• Running Lean experiments at breakneck speed

• Brainstorming and then executing the resultant plans

• You’ll have a lot of autonomy and your ideas and passion could help improve the lives of millions

How much does it pay?

• We have a budget of £40k per year. If it helps put it in perspective, that buys you a lifestyle in Cape Town equivalent to £80k in London

• To give you a feel for how far your wages will go, Cape Town offers some of the best value for money anywhere:

  • A swanky place to yourself with a view of Table Mountain will cost you £700pm and this includes all your bills

  • An amazing steak dinner with fantastic wine: £18 per person

  • A flat white: £1.20

• You’ll be paid out of the UK and receive a statutory pension contribution

• Up to £500 matched training budget for you to spend on your own career development

What are the perks?

• You’ll be living in magnificent Cape Town - if you’re lucky enough to avoid flying Turkish Airlines, your luggage might even come with you

• If you like things like surfing, mountain biking, hiking and amazing food and drink, this is the place for you. There’s arguably nowhere better on the planet in terms of lifestyle 

• Often work from home in your pyjamas (please dress for meetings)

• A chance to travel and see the continent

• We’ll fly you home to the UK three times a year 

• Great working culture - we grant a lot of autonomy but expect results in return

• Access to an incredible network of people - Henry has a seriously great address book (see our backers)

• Learn from some seasoned entrepreneurs who have built businesses and charities from scratch across Africa

• Focus on your own professional development - we want you to leave us significantly better skilled (and happier) than when you started. Let’s work together to design a programme that works for you

What skills are we looking for?

• Jack of all trades and undaunted by new challenges

• Intellectually curious - you’re probably a voracious reader

• Great head for numbers - if asked “is that result statistically significant?” you’d give a coherent answer

• Problem solver who seeks scalable solutions (you’d be the person in the room raising their hand to say “this CRM might work for a few hundred users but will it work for ten thousand?”)

• Self-directed learner - it’s likely you’ll need to learn new skills rapidly. Are you comfortable teaching yourself?

• Technical chops - you don’t need to be a developer, but you do need to have a good sense of what types of technology solutions are trivial to implement vs horrendously difficult

• Microsoft Excel ninja - we do a lot of number crunching

• Excellent brainstorming contributor - can you listen as well as talk? Can you help us get the best answer to a tricky question?

• Articulate in all forms of communication, including speaking to audiences

• Genuinely caring about our mission

• Laughing at Henry’s jokes (compulsory and not easy)

What sort of person are we looking for?

• Positive person

• Brain the size of Jupiter

• Great work ethic

• Fast learner

• Organised

• Gregarious

• Highly ambitious

• Not daunted by relocating to the other side of the world

• At least 3 years of experience in a job that involves the skills listed above

Bonus points for any of the following

• Worked as a consultant, project manager or business analyst - we think you’ll be using many of the same skill sets

• Worked as a teacher or in education

• Knows Africa well

• Worked in International Development

• Can code

• Worked in a successful startup already

• Aced Maths in school or at uni

Who are these guys I’d be working with?

• Henry - Chair/ Co-founder, Lives in UK but will be in CT a fair bit (Multi-award winning, serial entrepreneur, former Director of Innovation at Pearson plc. Dad of 3)

• Erik - CEO/ Co-founder, based in Cape Town (Former management consultant turned entrepreneur, polymath, speaks 6 languages, lived in 10 African countries, thrives at the intersection between psychology and technology)

• Alex - Tech Lead, based predominantly in the UK (Developer behind many of the leading education apps on the market today)

• Choongo - Study coach, based in Cape Town (Masters student in Mathematics at the University of Cape Town)

• Kwazi - Study coach, Based in Cape Town (Chemical Engineering student at the University of Cape Town)

• Our advisory/investor board 

We think this job should be a dream come true to the right person. If the above floats your boat, you can apply by following this link:
https://forms.gle/nX1MFbT8DC4Z9Wyh8

We don’t believe in long drawn-out processes. We’d like to have completed the hire before Christmas with a start early next year, or earlier if you’re free.

Very best of luck, we’re looking forward to meeting you. This is going to be fun.

Erik, Henry and the Watobe gang

Lead on all major donor work for this important women's health charity.

This role helps to drive a renewed and strategic energy in philanthropic giving by leading on day to day fundraising from individuals who give up to six figures.

There are already a number of high-profile events in the pipeline for next year, thanks to an engaged trustee board, including a flagship, annual HNWI sport event and a large fundraising dinner led by a high profile celebrity.

A number of smaller events are also planned and the successful candidate will lead on these as well as develop a calendar of events. The successful candidate will need to utilise and develop existing and new relationships, ensuring a strategic engagement plan is in place to allow this income stream to grow and mature.

You will be joining a small but impressive fundraising team, who in 2018 raised c£2.2 million and in 2019 look set to raise £1.8 million. Under the stewardship of a new CEO, this is an exciting time to be joining as they look to grow income from the major donor stream, with the support and guidance of an engaged and dynamic SMT and Trustee board.

The fundraising team is made up of corporate, events and individual giving, two trust fundraisers (which has traditionally been the ‘bread and butter’ of the organisation, working with funding bodies such as Garfield Weston) and one major donor fundraiser (this role). In total, the organisation has 13 core staff members.

As Major Donor Manager you will:

• continue the stewardship of a portfolio of warm funders who give upwards of £5k, working to a target of £400k
• grow a pipeline of mid- and high-level giving (anything up to six figures) as well as securing multi-year giving. This could be by reengaging prospects or engaging cold prospects.
• own the day to day philanthropic giving, including planning and delivering a programme of events
• make this income stream your own, working closely and strategically with senior internal and external stakeholders.

The position would best suit:

• an experienced fundraiser, able to hit the ground running
• someone who will become the bedrock of this income stream by stewarding confidently and proactively looking for new, untapped areas of development (30-40% stewardship with a large amount of business development)
• a creative fundraiser, well versed in securing six figure gifts

That’s what we do at Imago. We help some of the most vulnerable people in society to make changes and improve their wellbeing.

We’re looking for someone with experience of working directly with patients in a hospital or similar setting to join our Social Prescribing team. Based in the busy A&E department of Darent Valley Hospital, you will meet with patients to provide personalised, practical support to them, their families and carers, enabling them to make decisions that will improve their life and health circumstances.

You will independently manage a caseload and new referrals, prioritising need and referring on to specialist services, connecting patients with community services to sustain independent living, health and wellbeing.

You’ll be working with people facing complex social and emotional challenges so should be a good listener, have time for people and be confident working within safe boundaries.  

In this role you will bridge the gap between primary care professionals and social opportunities, so a knowledge of local services and the ability to build effective networks with cross sector organisations is essential.

It’s time to make a change.
