About BASIC
BASIC is an independent, non-profit think tank working to safeguard humanity and Earth's ecosystem from nuclear risks and interconnected security threats, for generations to come. Our vision is for a global security consensus founded on multilateralism, the recognition of the indivisibility of security, adherence to Earth's planetary boundaries, and consideration of future generations.
For nearly 40 years, we have built a global reputation for groundbreaking dialogue and incisive thought leadership to strengthen international peace and security. We are an intellectually and culturally diverse team of 20 expert-practitioners with deep institutional experience, headquartered in London with additional presences in Berlin and Rome. We are independent, receive no core funding from any state, and our project work is funded transparently.
BASIC's approach to resolving contemporary nuclear dynamics is centred on dialogue as both a practice and a philosophy. We interpret dialogue broadly, recognising that meaningful engagement takes many forms: from facilitating direct strategic conversations between adversaries grounded in conflict resolution principles, to developing networks and diplomatic initiatives that build consensus around shared objectives, to shaping the intellectual foundations of policy discourse through rigorous research and thought leadership.
BASIC is a fast-paced and rewarding environment with an exceptionally positive and inclusive team culture. We have experienced rapid growth over the past decade and are well-suited to people who are motivated by our mission, able to work at a sustained pace, keen to develop professionally, and enjoy being part of a collaborative team working on consequential issues.
What We Offer
-
Competitive salary with room for growth
-
30 days annual leave (pro rata), plus bank holidays and closure days over the December festive period
-
Employer pension contributions of 5% (above the national minimum)
-

1-2 all-staff in-person team away day per year, as well as other in-person working opportunities

The Role
The Project Manager is an adept and organised professional, esteemed within the nuclear policy community for their level. Responsible for overseeing a discrete package of work, they must demonstrate a clear understanding and alignment with broader programme goals, strategies, and objectives. The role will report to the Programme Manager.
Taking charge of project deliverables, the Project Manager will navigate the entire project cycle, from generating fundraising ideas to developing them further and building knowledge of funding relationships. The role will also include deputising for the Programme Manager during periods of absence, ensuring continuity of delivery, external engagement, and team support as required.
The Project Manager will take responsibility for the South Asia portfolio under the Responsibilities and Global Governance (RGG) Programme. The RGG Programme works to strengthen global security by supporting the development of responsible governance frameworks for weapons and dual-use technologies in cross-cutting operational domains. Under the South Asia portfolio, the RGG Programme has facilitated research and dialogue with the Indian and Pakistani nuclear policy communities with a focus on regional crisis prevention, management, and de-escalation practices.
The Project Manager should possess a solid understanding of global security and conflict resolution and a deep understanding and demonstrable knowledge of military security dynamics in South Asia, coupled with a proven ability to design and execute high-quality project management and research. The ideal candidate is an established researcher with a specialisation in nuclear weapons issues and South Asia. As the candidate will be expected to facilitate India-Pakistan nuclear dialogues, it is important that they will show an ability to engage impartially with all parties.
It is expected that the Project Manager will have solo authored, policy relevant, publications. The Project Manager should possess the skills to expand their network in their area of specialisation, benefiting BASIC, and be capable of line managing other team members within their project.

This role plays a central part in ensuring the service runs smoothly and meets contractual requirements. You will act as a first point of contact for new referrals, while also leading on accurate data entry, reporting and insight to support service delivery and continuous improvement.
The role is ideal for someone who enjoys combining people-facing work with structured, detail-focused data and administrative responsibilities, and who is motivated by supporting people to move towards employment.
What you’ll be doing
If you were working with us, you would be at the heart of how our Connect to Work service demonstrates impact, quality and compliance.

Where risks or safeguarding concerns arise, you would escalate appropriately and in line with service protocols.
You would handle general enquiries from participants and stakeholders, signposting where Connect to Work is not the right provision. You would liaise with Local London regarding referral submissions and ensure tracking systems are up to date.
Internally, you would support frontline colleagues by providing training and guidance on data entry and performance recording requirements. You would help create simple, robust systems so advisers can focus on supporting participants into work.
In short, you would combine strong technical data skills with excellent communication and a genuine commitment to quality. Your work would ensure that our service is compliant, insightful and continuously improving.
