• creating and maintaining effective working relationships with external research agencies and data providers, ensuring agreed deliverables are delivered on time, to cost, and to a high standard.

Support the wider STEM outreach sector to improve their evaluation through:
 

• supporting the development and implementation of an impact and evaluation framework to  support outreach providers to appraise their work and measure key performance indicators.
• developing good practice evaluation guidance for internal and external stakeholders, reviewing literature, analysing data, and sourcing case studies

Following the Brexit vote, international trade has become one of the government’s top priorities, and has received a huge amount of public and media interest. The UK has a unique opportunity to develop trade policy which responds to key policy priorities such as tackling climate change, responding to and recovering from the Covid pandemic, and delivering on the UK’s international commitments such as the Sustainable Development Goals. However, the government’s proposed trade deals could undermine action in these areas. To date there is no clear strategy to ensure that trade deals are aligned with the UK’s other policy objectives, instead the Government’s primary objective has been to deliver as many new trade agreements as possible. 

The Senior Researcher’s role is to ensure TJM has timely, in depth analysis of trade negotiations, agreements, legislation and other relevant Government policy to support our role as a source of intelligence for other civil society organisations and our work in parliament and with the media: 

• Develop a strategy to ensure TJM is able to analyse trade deals and any information about negotiations or policies coming from the Government;

• Undertake analysis, usually with a quick turnaround time, of trade agreements, updates on negotiations and other relevant Government documents;

• Occasionally commission and manage external contractors to deliver analysis; 

• Produce regular reports and briefings for the TJM secretariat and other organisational partners;

• Develop and maintain good relationships with civil service departments, particularly DIT but also the Cabinet Office, BEIS, DIT and Defra with a view to ensuring TJM has access to as much useful information as possible.

Working with a small team, you will need both a strong ability to manage your own time and work plan, occasionally manage external consultants and to be proactive in developing relevant external relationships. This is an exciting opportunity to make a big impact as the UK develops its independent trade policy.
