You will lead the design and delivery of research, evaluation and learning activity across the Foundation, working closely with teams to ensure programmes are built around clear outcomes and that insight is used to inform decisions, improve delivery and strengthen impact. 

This is both a technical and collaborative role. You will manage and commission evaluation activity, while also working alongside colleagues across the organisation to embed a stronger culture of learning, evidence and continuous improvement. 

About You 

We are looking for a skilled research and evaluation professional with experience of designing, commissioning and delivering high-quality evaluation activity. You will be confident working with data, evidence and insight to inform decision-making and improve programmes or services. 

You will bring strong analytical skills, alongside the ability to translate complex information into clear, practical recommendations. You will be comfortable managing external partners and contracts, and confident supporting others to embed evidence and learning into their work. 

Above all, you will be collaborative, curious and committed to using evidence to improve outcomes for communities. A commitment to equality, diversity, inclusion and belonging is essential.
