Dear candidate,

I’ll cut to the quick: we need you on our team.

This year we’ll launch an exciting new campaign called Stronger My Way, which will help people living with a health condition improve their quality of life through strengthening.

We’ll also continue to promote a major NHS initiative that allows patients to see a specialist physiotherapist instead of a GP at their local surgery when they have a bone, joint or muscle problem.

And the pandemic has only added to the sense of urgency around our campaign to improve access to incredibly important rehabilitation for conditions such as arthritis, MS and stroke.

You’ll use your experience of similar integrated campaigns to provide creativity, energy and sharply-targeted comms across multiple platforms.

You’ll bring your media contacts, nous and writing skills to generate coverage and secure profile for these issues in national, specialist and other forms of media.

We’ll also rely on your experience of working across other PR channels, such as social media, securing speaker opportunities and event attendance.

Across all of these areas you’ll be contributing in meaningful ways to the success of our new equity, diversity and belonging strategy.

Your experience of using your previous roles to advance these essential issues will be crucial to both the work we do and the mindset and processes we make integral to our work.

Look, we don’t always get it right – I certainly don’t. But one of our organisational values is learning.

This means you’ll always be supported to try something new, confident in the knowledge that if it doesn’t pan out, we’ll be more interested in what we can learn for future.

I’m particularly keen to hear from people from communities that are under-represented in the PR industry.

I look forward to working with you.

Best wishes,

Jon Ryan

Head of Press and PR

Science is vital to many areas of government policy making and the Society seeks to ensure the government and the public have access to impartial and independent expert advice to inform debate and guide good decision making. The Royal Society provides independent, timely and authoritative scientific advice to UK, European and international decision makers. We champion the contribution that science and innovation can make to economic prosperity, quality of life and environmental sustainability; and we are a hub for debate about science, society and public policy.

3. To develop an education system that embeds within the experience of learners, the skills and knowledge that enable them to engage confidently and critically with science and how it affects people's lives.

The Society’s policy work is led by the science policy team, working closely with the Media Relations, Public Affairs, Public Engagement, International Affairs and Diversity & Industry Programme teams. Activities are undertaken by a team of Senior Policy Advisers and Policy Advisers who work across a range of themes and policy issues, according to priorities and their own expertise.

ShareAction and the global system of finance

It is said that “money makes the world go around” but the global financial system in its current form is in danger of making our world a very inhospitable place indeed for future generations.

Though it has lifted many out of poverty, today the global financial system has an oversized impact on many of the existential challenges we face. Biodiversity loss is such an example, as is climate change and the growing gap between rich and poor in terms of both income and health. Investment, lending and insuring decisions can enable destructive and exploitative industries or they can support a transition to a more sustainable way of living and use of precious resources. The latter approach is known as responsible or ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) investment.

ShareAction’s vision is of a world where the financial system serves our planet and its people. Our mission is to define the highest standards of responsible investment and to drive change until these standards are adopted worldwide. We work towards our mission by:

• advocating for change in the investment industry using our research and rankings
• campaigning with allies to strengthen investor stewardship and change corporate behaviour
• pushing for public policy reform to transform the financial system

Position

ShareAction’s corporate engagement programmes harness the power of investors to influence companies to drive improvements in their environmental sustainability and social responsibility.

As Senior Research Officer in our climate change corporate engagement team, you will be responsible for developing high-quality research to inform our campaigns across a range of sectors. Our current focus looks at sectors related to heavy industry and commitments to timebound, credible decarbonisation plans aligned with a 1.5C pathway.

This role will include ad hoc research to prepare for meetings, work on long-term research projects (including surveys and the drafting of investor reports and briefings) and the presentation of research findings to target audiences, with the support of the rest of the climate team.

The key responsibilities below outline in more detail the type of work you will be undertaking:

• You will be conducting and leading research on a broad range of topics linked to the connection between climate change, the financial services, and a number of industry sectors. Our current focus is European chemicals, but future work could include looking at sectors such as the built environment, mining, power & transport;
• Drafting reports and briefings for a range of audiences, including investors and companies will be a large part of the day-to-day aspects of the role;

• You will be supporting the climate campaigns team with ad hoc research, for instance to prepare for meetings or presentations both internally and externally;
• You will work closely with our internal communications team to coordinate press and social media around publications;
• Presenting research findings to a variety of audiences, often in person and/or via webinars, with the support of the climate campaigns team;
• Horizon-scanning to identify new developments and trends in the external environment which may provide opportunities for our mission.

Please note that this list isn’t exhaustive and the role might change slightly from time to time.

Requirements

We are looking for a passionate, determined individual, with the following experience and skills:

ESSENTIAL

• Experience of leading or being part of a large research project;
• A good understanding of how climate change affects companies in a range of sectors such as power, the built environment, chemicals and transport;
• Ability to write about complex topics in a direct and understandable manner;

• Good analytical skills with the ability to quickly get to grips with new and complex subject areas, assimilate information, pull out the relevant points and communicate them to a wide variety of audiences;
• Excellent written and verbal English;
• Comfort analysing, manipulating, and presenting quantitative information;
• Ability to plan, manage and deliver own work to agreed objectives and timelines, balancing competing priorities and reprioritising when needed;
• Great attention to detail;

• Good presentation skills;
• A good understanding of ShareAction, our mission and our values;
• Experience of Microsoft Office tools (particularly Word, Excel, and PowerPoint) and Office 365.

DESIRABLE

• A good understanding of responsible investment;
• Industry experience in - or research coverage of - the chemical sector;
• A good understanding of any of the following sectors: financial services, mining, built environment, oil & gas, power generation, cement, transport.
