As Strategic Evidence Manager, you will use evidence for good, contributing to driving major system and policy changes across England, Northern Ireland and Wales at an exciting time in dementia. You will work alongside another Strategic Evidence Manager and our Dementia Intelligence and Data Lead to provide expertise on evidence, data and insight in the context of dementia.
You will manage and support the development of two Strategic Evidence Officers, and you will ensure the Society’s choices and interpretation of dementia and the system is based on the highest quality of dementia evidence. Your role will allow us to have actionable insights and implications at our disposal. You will make our strategic evidence base everyone’s business and ultimately unignorable – to our people, and key players in the dementia system.
You will also be able to spot opportunities to generate and commission new evidence, working in collaboration with external suppliers, think tanks or academics. As Strategic Evidence Manager, you will be at the forefront of emerging evidence in dementia, ensuring specialist knowledge is kept up to date by being aware of developments and by attending training courses (where appropriate) and participating in other knowledge sharing events or networks.
Interviews for this role have been provisionally scheduled to take place via MS Teams on Friday 20th March.
About you
Joining us, you will have experience of using a wide range of research methods, including evidence synthesis, in addition to knowledge on current and emerging treatments for dementia. You’ll have experience of working in the science, health, care or policy sectors or equivalent knowledge. You’ll be able to manage projects successfully, using your skills to manage and deliver large and complex programmes of work with budgets and high exposure.
Crucially, you will have the skills required to manage, support and develop a team with a proven ability to inspire and motivate people to towards shared objectives and goals. You’ll also be able to work effectively in collaboration with others to find solutions to problems. This role will require you to represent Alzheimer’s Society at conferences, events and different types of media, therefore you’ll need to be able to use your communication and networking skills to raise the profile of strategic evidence as a critical function to the organisation.
What you’ll focus on:
- Operationalising a strategic evidence plan, ensuring that the Society’s decisions and interpretation of dementia and the system is based on the highest quality of dementia evidence.
- Managing and monitoring internal and external delivery of evidence projects that involve internal and external stakeholders.
- Developing a sound, rounded knowledge of research evidence and other data and insight and overseeing strategic approaches to evidence collation, management and horizon scanning.
- Providing functional expertise on research evidence, data and insight to your team, and others, across the Society.
- Managing the consolidation of research, data and insight through the preparation of evidence briefs and other content.
- Responsible for designing and implementing new and existing tools, processes and standards that create reciprocal mechanisms.
- Developing and managing direct reports, including setting clear development objectives and appraising performance.
