Role: Country Director
Reports to: The Board of Trustees
Hours: Full-time
Location: UK based with frequent travel to London
Who we are…
We’re The Hunger Project UK. Nice to meet you. We’re a UK registered charity committed to the sustainable end of world hunger. Our vision is a world without hunger.
Our mission is to end hunger and poverty by pioneering sustainable, grassroots, women-centered strategies and advocating for their widespread adoption in countries throughout the world. We are reaching an estimated 12.8M people around the world through 10,000 partner communities and 2,200 project sites.
Our programs are based on an innovative, holistic approach, which empower women and men living in rural communities to become agents of their own development and make sustainable progress in hunger and poverty reduction.
Our team is all around the world…from our programme countries, to our partner countries such as Australia, the Netherlands, Canada and more; with our global Head Office in New York City, US. We are all industrious, passionate, and committed; a mighty force of changemakers living around the world.
Here in the UK, we work in collaboration with our global colleagues, to raise funds for our overseas programmes and amplify the voices of those affected by hunger. We are a small but awesome team in our global scheme of things. We have big ambitions to grow and scale our fundraising efforts significantly over the next three years. So, if you’re up for the challenge.... come and join us.

- You have experience working with philanthropists and/or trusts and foundations, as these are two key audiences for us to scale.
- You can keep your eye on the big picture, but aren’t afraid to roll up your sleeves and get the minutiae done.
- You’re a safe and steady pair of hands.
- You have impeccable written and spoken communication skills and are great at getting people on board with your vision.
- You’re a people person and brilliant networker, with a contacts book the envy of most!

As a new role, you will have the exciting opportunity to support and transform how we use health-related dementia data in the development and curation of our strategic evidence base. Clear and impactful data is key to understanding the scale and impact of dementia in the UK, and this role will be pivotal to ensuring we’ve got what we need.
Your role will be critical to informing research, influencing and engagement activity through deep-dive analysis and synthesis of existing data, identification of potential data gaps and methods to fill them, and the production of jargon-free, engaging interpretation and information for both internal and external use.
You will work alongside the Dementia Data and Intelligence Lead, together providing expertise on evidence, data and insight in the context of dementia, ensuring that the Society’s decisions and interpretation of dementia and the system are based on the highest quality of dementia evidence.

You will be part of an even larger Evidence, Policy & Influencing (EP&I) function, which is laser-focused on ending the devastation of dementia through changing policy.

You’re passionate about using data and evidence for good, and you can understand the need for impactful data and evidence in the current health and social care landscape. You’re a trusted expert and critical friend, always considering the impact of your work on people affected by dementia.
Essential experience:
- Qualification in a discipline relevant to data analysis or equivalent demonstrable work experience.
- Skills in using statistical analysis techniques to draw impactful conclusions from complex data sets.
- Skills in data visualisation with the ability to tailor the communication of your findings to different audiences, using tools such as Power BI or ArcGIS.
- Experience of using software packages or coding languages to efficiently process data and produce shareable outputs (R Studio, SQL, Python etc.).
- Experience of preparing briefings, reports and other creative assets to support the sharing and mobilisation of data insights.
- Experience of providing advice and guidance on how to use data insights to team members and other internal colleagues.
- Experience of analysing and appraising data to inform policy and/or strategic decision making.
- Experience in using project and stakeholder management skills to deliver and monitor projects of work that require internal and external collaboration.
In addition to this, you will:
- Be a true team player, supporting colleagues and knowing when to ask for help.
- Be eager and able to work at a pace in a complex environment.
- Be independently minded and a critical thinker; curious and constantly questioning the status quo.
- Be an exceptional communicator, passionate about sharing best practices, insights and feedback effectively.
- For this application, we strongly recommend including a supporting statement letting us know how you meet the essential criteria and why you are motivated for this role.
What you’ll focus on:
- Informing data advocacy, helping us demonstrate a case for change around the need for improvements in dementia data, by building a deep understanding of the quality and quantity of health-related dementia data.
- Supporting the development and implementation of a strategic approach that enables the use of dementia specific and other relevant data in our strategic evidence base.
- Combining datasets from various sources externally, generating actionable insights on the scale and impact of dementia that are understandable and impactful for different audiences and purposes.
- Creating engaging content for internal and external use, using appropriate data visualisations to present data in engaging and easily interpretable ways for non-data professionals.
- Supporting the development and management of a more robust single point of truth to ensure correct usage and communication of data and statistics internally and externally.
