Job description

We are seeking an ambitious and motivated Head of Research to oversee the delivery of our research funding programme. You will ensure our funding is delivered strategically with the greatest impact possible for people affected by MND. You will manage our research team to oversee the development and delivery of effective funding schemes, partnerships and initiatives, whilst ensuring the outputs of our research are monitored and evaluated, to communicate our impact and inform our future activities.

This is a key role in our small, agile organisation that will involve close working across the charity, and the research community. We are looking for someone with strong experience in research and people management, working experience in drug discovery, with excellent communication skills and strong motivation to make a difference for people affected by MND. 

Team Structure: 

You will report to the Director of Research and manage a team of four: three Research Programme Managers and a Research Officer. 

Key responsibilities: 

  • Have day-to-day responsibility for distribution of the charity’s research funding, developing detailed annual plans and delivering against time and budget; 

  • Be responsible for overseeing governance and compliance for all research funding activities, including adherence to standards set by the Association of Medical Research Charities; 

  • Identify opportunities for improvements to grant management systems, processes and documentation and work closely with the research team to ensure they are implemented; 

  • Maintain oversight of the research programme budget, working closely with the research and finance teams to plan, monitor and forecast; 

  • Oversee the development and implementation of new funding schemes and research initiatives to ensure our funds are delivered for maximum impact and address gaps in the research landscape; 

  • Oversee the setup and delivery of large collaborative research programmes including managing relationships with joint funders and other partner organisations; 

  • Build and maintain strong relationships with the research community, including members of our review committees and grant holders; 

  • Oversee the development and implementation of a robust impact evaluation framework to monitor, report and evaluate the impact of the research we fund and use this information to inform our future funding activities; 

  • Ensure the outputs of our research funding activities inform the work of the charity, working with the research and communication teams to create and disseminate compelling and engaging scientific content to engage supporters and drive income; 

  • Maintain a strong understanding of the MND research landscape, using those insights to inform our research activities; 

  • Develop a high performing team, ensuring team members are supported and developed to contribute to their full potential in the achievement of the charity’s aims; 

  • Oversee the delivery of research events e.g. annual meetings to bring together our researchers; 

  • Support the development and implementation of future research strategies, working closely with the Director of Research; 

  • Represent the Foundation at external meetings including international conferences; 

  • Deputise for the Director of Research as required; 

  • Undertake other appropriate work as required by the Director of Research. 

  

Skills and experience required: 

  • Educated to postgraduate level, or with similar experience in a relevant biomedical science subject e.g. biochemistry, molecular sciences, neuroscience, pharmacology; 

  • Working experience of drug discovery, gained either in the bio-pharmaceutical industry or an academic setting; 

  • Significant experience in research management, ideally within a charity or government funding organisation; 

  • Proven leadership and people management skills with direct line management experience; 

  • The ability to think strategically, navigate uncertainty and adapt to evolving environments; 

  • A great communicator, with excellent written and oral skills and the ability to build and maintain relationships with a wide range of stakeholders; 

  • Motivated to make a real difference for those living with MND and future generations. 

Please note, this role involves occasional overnight stays from home, occasional international travel and occasional attendance at meetings and events during evenings and weekends. Candidates must have the existing right to work in the UK.
