Unifrog’s mission

We’re on a mission to level the playing field when it comes to young people finding and applying for their next step after school. We're achieving this by bringing all the available information into one single, impartial, user-friendly platform that helps students to make the best choices, and submit the strongest applications. We also empower teachers and counsellors to manage the progression process effectively.

Our outlook is global - we work with schools and universities all over the world, from the US to New Zealand, and from Italy to Hong Kong. We want to make it so that young people can compare every opportunity taught in English, wherever it is in the world, and have all the support they need to make successful applications.

We have a clear social purpose, and we’re hugely ambitious. We already work with over half of UK secondary schools, and hundreds of international schools. We are growing rapidly in terms of the number of our customers, in terms of how much they use our platform, and in terms of the breadth of products we offer (check out this video to hear more about the Unifrog platform).

Our team is at the heart of our business and is integral to our success. We work hard to foster a culture of openness, happiness and innovation, and we commit to helping every individual learn and grow so that they can reach their full potential. We want to hire talented people, whatever their background. If you are excited by our mission and are ready to work hard, please don’t hesitate to apply. We look forward to hearing from you!

Why work for Results and IPNEd​

Like you, we're passionate about ending poverty. We’re a small, collaborative organisation that has a big impact. We just do advocacy - we don’t run programmes. The experience you gain with us sets you up for a career in international development. Below are a few of the benefits of joining us, in addition to the salary, pension and annual leave outlines at the top of this document.

​

Work-life balance​

• We offer flexible working so you can manage work around your own needs.

• Hybrid working means you don’t have to be trapped in a long commute every day and don’t have to be London based.

• Staff members have their birthdays off as a bonus day of leave and we close the office between Christmas and new year so you don’t need to take leave.

• We subscribe to the Bupa employee advice line – free confidential access to financial and legal advisors as well as telephone and online counselling sessions.

• In addition we run training on mental health at work and have named mental health first aiders who can be contacted in confidence if you would like help finding support.

​

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion​

At Results UK, we believe in equality, diversity and inclusion, and that these should be the norm. As well as this being an issue of equality and fairness, we recognise that diverse and inclusive organisations are some of the most productive and impactful.

​

As an organisation, we are aware of the under-representation of certain groups and communities in the international development sector that are often closest to the issues we work on. These include - but are certainly not limited to - people from Black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) communities, refugees, people with disabilities and people from lower socio-economic backgrounds.​

We want to change this and are committed to playing our part as an organisation. As a committed equal opportunities employer, we actively welcome applications from people of a wide range of backgrounds, skills and abilities, recognising the value that these different perspectives bring to our organisation.

​

Our team is at the heart of our business and is integral to our success. We work hard to foster a culture of openness, happiness and innovation, and we commit to helping every individual learn and grow so that they can reach their full potential. We want to hire talented people, whatever their background. If you are excited by our mission and are ready to work hard, please don’t hesitate to apply. We look forward to hearing from you!

HE Partnerships at Unifrog

After successfully launching the HE Partnerships arm of Unifrog in 2020, we now support 175+ global universities with raising brand awareness, inspiring the next generation, and developing a talented and diverse pipeline of prospective applicants. We also connect universities with teachers, advisors, and international school counselors through the Unifrog online community and in-person events.

What you’ll do

As HE Partnerships Manager, your role is to grow our university partner numbers and support our existing university partners to get the most out of their partnership with us. A fundamental element of our work with universities is to make sure they’re adding genuine value to our student and teacher community. Your key responsibilities will include:

• Make sales to universities in the UK and around the world

  You’ll set up and conduct meetings with university staff in which you’ll listen to their needs, communicate our mission to them, demonstrate our offering, and seek to secure the university’s ongoing subscription.

• Maintain excellent relationships with existing partner universities, and secure their resubscriptions

  You’ll onboard new partners, conduct regular check-in calls, and consultatively support our partner universities to make the most of their partnership with us in line with their goals. It’s crucial that you maintain a sky-high resubscription rate.

• Deliver our existing services for partner universities

  Our HE offering is new and fast evolving. You’ll be involved in delivering every part of it, including:

  • Insights dashboard

    • Our Insights dashboard and reports use aggregated data from the Unifrog platform to uncover trends at subject and regional levels, and are designed to inform universities’ marketing, recruitment and portfolio planning. You’ll consult with partner universities to help them get the most out of their Insights dashboard, present reports to them, and identify potential upsell opportunities.

  • Student fairs, college counselor networking events, and teacher conferences

    • These events are a great way for our partner universities to interact with our community of students and teachers. We want our events to be useful and enjoyable for all parties. You’ll make sure your partners get involved in the events that best meet their recruitment and outreach objectives, as well as leveraging their best academics and student ambassadors to present to Unifrog students.

• Identify upsell opportunities that will help our partners to achieve their goals

  You’ll seek to build relationships across different university departments, such as Marketing, International recruitment or Widening Participation, to increase our scope of work with each HE partner. Central to this will be showcasing the extra support we offer in addition to the annual subscription.

• Help develop new ways for our university partners to add and receive value

  We are just getting started with how we support universities to add value for the students and teachers using the Unifrog platform, and how we support universities to receive value as well. We want you to play your part in coming up with new services we can deliver: at Unifrog we innovate quickly, and it’s everyone’s job to be creative.

What we're looking for

• Resilient, and motivated to exceed targets

Our sales and resubscription targets are achievable but ambitious. You’ll need to be determined to meet and exceed them.

• Strong communication skills

You’ll be in frequent communication with lots of different people, both within Unifrog and externally – this will be in person, written, over the phone and via video call. You’ll need to be an outstanding communicator.

• Personable, with a track record of excellent relationship management

At Unifrog we’re known for our excellent customer service. You’ll need to provide fantastic support for your partner universities and make sure your team are doing the same.

• Sector insight

We work with Universities around the world that are often very different from each other; you need to be quick to understand how we can be useful to them, and how they can be useful to our students and teachers. 

• Attention to detail

Whether it’s marketing collateral or a new Insights Report, it’s important you have the skills and discipline to carefully check our HE focused content.

• Proactive attitude and willingness to get stuck in

You need to be excited about going beyond the core responsibilities detailed above to improve what we do and make it a success.

Working together

You’ll work alongside our three existing HE Partnership Managers, our HE Partnerships Coordinator, New Business Lead (HE and Employers), as well as people on our marketing, data analysis, and school-facing teams. 

You’ll be line-managed by our Head of HE Partnerships.

Key benefits

• Join one of ‘the best organisations to escape to’ and help transform careers and destinations in schools. We’re also a certified Great Place to Work.

• Professional development is important at Unifrog. You will define your own 6-month objectives and will be supported by your line manager and the rest of the team to achieve them. You will have an annual training allowance to spend on what you need to grow and progress.

Inclusion and diversity at Unifrog

• To ensure that our recruitment process is consistent and fair, we anonymise your application and therefore do not see your name, personal, educational or professional background. We also randomise the order of responses so that it’s less likely that a candidate is advantaged or disadvantaged by where their answers appear compared to other candidates.

About Results UK

Results’ mission is to work with others to create the public and political will to end poverty, by enabling people to exercise their personal and political power for change.​

Internationally, we work with Results organisations around the world, and in health we also work with partners in India, Kenya, Zambia and elsewhere through the international ACTION Global Health Advocacy Partnership. Results UK believes the building blocks of the end of poverty can be most simply articulated as “health, education, economic opportunities, and citizen voice”. These are the things that all people, wherever they live, need and have a right to.

Within these areas, we prioritise a small number of specific issues where we can have the most influence to achieve much needed development progress. Across all our issues, our aims are to mobilise resources, change policy, and create the public and political will that will bring about change.

Role description

Results has a long and successful history of engaging with UK parliamentarians around international development issues and providing them with the briefings and questions they need to raise these issues in parliament. As the Parliamentary Advocacy Officer for Education, you will lead our parliamentary work on education issues in line with our new strategy and commitment to equity. You will have a good understanding of how the UK Parliament works and how to engage parliamentarians in our issues. 

You will lead relationships with UK parliamentarians around global education, including providing the Secretariat for the APPG Global Education.

Key responsibilities

Parliamentary advocacy

● Working with the Head of Parliamentary Advocacy and others in the organisation to develop and implement a high impact and politically astute advocacy strategy for global education.

● Alongside the specific global education strategy, contribute to the development of Results’ overarching parliamentary advocacy strategy, working closely with the Head of Parliamentary Advocacy and other members of the team.

● Lead on the parliamentary work on global education for Results UK, by building and strengthening relationships with MPs and Peers that result in their championing the end of poverty, specifically the importance of global education, and building support for the key elements of strong national education systems.

The APPG secretariat/coordinator function includes guiding the Group’s work programme and activities, arranging meetings and events, corresponding with the APPG Officers and Members, briefing MPs and Peers to ask questions or speak in parliamentary debates and representing the Group externally, for example with the FCDO, Global Partnership for Education, Education Cannot Wait and others.

● Lead the planning, delivery and evaluation of Parliamentary Delegations to other countries and advocacy tours to the UK, working with the relevant Policy Advocacy Officer and others in the Parliamentary Team.

● Work closely with the Grassroots Advocacy Team to ensure parliamentary and grassroots campaigning activity is coordinated and the greatest impact is achieved between the relationships our grassroots campaigners build with their local MPs, and the work led from the office to support MPs in Parliament.

Partners and coalitions

● Liaise with other global Results organisations, to coordinate our parliamentary advocacy at a global level.

● Contribute content to Results UK’s website, blog and social media to help achieve our organisational objectives and strengthen our brand presence.

● Publicise the APPG's activities, primarily through its website and twitter account.

● Represent Results at external meetings and events in relation to global education advocacy.

Organisational Development

● Carry out effective monitoring, evaluation and learning of your work, recording activity and outcomes that enables Results UK to measure its success, in addition to measuring the impact of your activities towards these outcomes.

● Be a key part of Results UK’s organisational development by participating in strategic discussions, evaluations, sharing your experience and ideas, and working flexibly to support other staff as required.

● Actively develop and support funding ideas to help appropriately expand Results UK’s portfolio in close collaboration with the Head of Parliamentary Advocacy and the Operations team.

● Build new and strengthen existing relationships with donors, external partners, and our advocacy targets.

Why work for Results?

Like you, we're passionate about ending poverty. We’re a small, collaborative organisation that has a big impact. We just do advocacy - we don’t run programmes. The experience you gain with us sets you up for a career in international development. Here are a few of the benefits of joining us, in addition to the salary, pension and annual leave outlines at the top of this document.

Work-life balance

• We offer flexible working so you can manage work around your own needs.
• Hybrid working means you don’t have to be trapped in a long commute every day and don’t have to be London based.
• Staff members have their birthdays off as a bonus day of leave and we close the office between Christmas and new year so you don’t need to take leave.
• We subscribe to the Bupa employee advice line – free confidential access to financial and legal advisors as well as telephone and online counselling sessions.
• In addition we run training on mental health at work and have named mental health first aiders who can be contacted in confidence if you would like help finding support.
• All staff have the opportunity to join working groups outside of their work areas according to their interests. Our staff wellbeing team explores how we can improve our staff wellbeing  - most recently publishing a comprehensive guide - and reviews what we have done to date.

Anti-oppression

• We offer half a day’s anti-oppression learning leave each year
• As well as making reasonable adjustments, we support our staff in making applications to the Access to Work scheme to get additional equipment where needed.
• We offer disability leave for disabled colleagues to manage specific needs they may have without having to give up their holidays.
• We have a staff working group on anti-oppression which helps to develop our work on anti-oppression and identify gaps in our current work.

Partnerships

• Results UK hosts three other organisations working on specific aspects of global health and education, so you benefit from other perspectives and get an in-depth understanding of other work going on in the sector.
• We are part of the ACTION global health partnership which brings together CSOs from around the world to share learning and coordinate advocacy.

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

At Results UK, we believe in equality, diversity and inclusion, and that it should be the norm. As well as this being an issue of equality and fairness, we recognise that diverse and inclusive organisations are some of the most productive and impactful.

As an organisation, we are aware of the underrepresentation of certain groups and communities in our sector. These include - but are certainly not limited to - people from Black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) communities, refugees, people with disabilities and people from lower socio-economic backgrounds.

We want to change this and are committed to playing our part as an organisation. As a committed equal opportunities employer, we actively welcome applications from people of a wide range of backgrounds, skills and abilities, recognising the value that these different perspectives bring to our organisation.
