About Ambitious Impact (AIM)

Ambitious Impact (AIM), formerly Charity Entrepreneurship, launches organizations that cost-effectively improve human and animal lives at scale. To do so, we find talented potential entrepreneurs and provide them with world-class training, research, mentorship, and funding to start new organizations. 

AIM’s work is grounded in the conviction that the world’s most significant problems can be solved by talented, dedicated entrepreneurs using evidence, innovation, and a laser focus on cost-effective impact. 

Since 2018, we have incubated over 50 charities, providing talented founders with evidence-based intervention ideas, ongoing mentorship, and seed funding. Together, they are estimated to improve the lives of more than 75 million people and 1 billion animals worldwide and have been backed by organizations like GiveWell, Mulago, the Gates Foundation, and Animal Charity Evaluators. 

Our flagship Charity Entrepreneurship Incubation Program currently launches ~10 nonprofits per year. In 2026, we want to double this, launching more than 20 charities improving lives at scale. Our bottleneck to launching more impactful charities isn't funding – it's finding the right people and ideas. Will you join us to help find the ideas that our next founders will turn into world-changing organizations?

If you’re curious what it’s like to work at AIM, we have just created a video [https://youtu.be/YjMDSHVCGFQ] where our team sits down to share their favorite aspects of the organisation, who might find it less of a good fit, and what kinds of people thrive with us.

About the Role

We seek two analytic and entrepreneurial Research Managers to contribute to our ambitious research agenda, and scale the Charity Entrepreneurship Incubation Program from launching ~12 charities per year to 20. In these roles, you will be key in finding the ideas we recommend to future entrepreneurs, like those listed on this page.

Research roles at AIM offer unparalleled opportunities to do good through research. Within six months to a year of publication, our work becomes a fully fledged non-profit working to implement the solutions proposed by our analysis. 

You will join a tight-knit team of researchers, which currently includes Filip (Senior Research Manager, Global Health and Development), Vicky (Senior Research Manager, Animal Welfare), and Morgan (Research Director).

“Research work at AIM is really unique in how applied it is. With most other research, you have to hope that you change someone's mind, or that anyone reads it. With AIM, you will have people picking up your work and dedicating their careers to working on the issue you have identified as little as 6 months later.

I've been here for six years because I love the work and think it is rewarding. Even though the process hasn't changed too much over that time, I haven't gotten bored because I kept looking into different ideas all the time, which keeps it new and interesting.” 

Vicky Cox (Senior Research Manager, Animals) - Author of reports that led to Shrimp Welfare Project and Animal Policy International.
 

Core research focus:

We are seeking two research managers to join the team. We prefer individuals who are interested in multiple cause areas and domains.

• We plan to hire one manager who will exclusively focus on human well-being. All else equal, we prefer candidates willing to work on animal welfare as well.

You will have experience of:

• Managing a fundraising pipeline or prospect list, from initial research through to application and stewardship, using a CRM system such as Salesforce to track progress and outcomes
• Collaborating across teams, particularly with delivery, finance, or impact colleagues, to gather information and develop compelling bids grounded in real-world delivery
• Producing high-quality donor reports, meeting deadlines and exceeding expectations through clear narrative, data, and case studies

About the Organisation

The charity is committed to the safeguarding of young people. In accordance with their Child Protection and Safeguarding procedures, this position requires a basic DBS check.

This is a rare and exciting opportunity to join our sector-leading UK Voice and Influence Team, and work very closely with our brilliant SEEN Programme, as well as our Children's Services across the UK.

Please note: this role carries a genuine occupational requirement that the postholder is from Black or Minoritised Ethnic (or ‘BAME', ‘Global Majority' or ‘African, Asian, Caribbean or Mixed heritage') community. We will confirm this prior to finalising our shortlist for interview.

The context:

Listening and responding to the voices and experiences of young people across the UK is a foundation of our three-year strategy – and in particular the voices of Black or Minoritised Ethnic young people, who are often less-heard.

Our vision is to build and support an engaged, diverse network (B-Amplified) of young people (aged 11-25) from across the UK who represent a broad range of identities and lived experiences, and who can speak out and work alongside Barnardo's in pursuit of our core purpose: Changing Childhoods, Changing Lives.

To help us do this, we are strengthening our B-Amplified Network and introducing new opportunities for young people to engage in our work, including through our new Lived Experience Ambassadors offer and an annual Youth Summit.

The challenge this role will help us address:

Black or Minoritised Ethnic children and young people are less visible and represented across Barnardo's work – in our Children's Services, and in our UK voice and influence work. This role will help us:

• Address ongoing feedback about the need for greater representation of Black or Minoritised Ethnic young people within B-Amplified, while also strengthening engagement from children's services to support pathways for a longer-term, stronger charity-wide approach to inclusive engagement.
• Identify and understand barriers within children's services that prevent meaningful engagement with Black or Minoritised Ethnic young people. This will help inform V&I, SEEN, and the wider organisation's approach to anti-racist practice, and excellent and inclusive voice and influence work.

Specifically, this role will:

• Lead on the recruitment, coordination and support of young people signed up as B-Amplified Network members – the role will be the dedicated member of staff to onboard, sustain engagement, and successfully support young people to transition and exit to other opportunities.
• Support the SEEN Ambassadors, and coordinate their engagement in the wider B-Amplified Network offer – bringing them more coherently into the wider voice and influence programme of work, and ensure there is a consistent approach to monitoring, evaluation, recording and reporting for this group of young people.
   

In year 1 of this role, we expect the focus to be on the anti-racism strand to excellent and inclusive services and, by extension, the increased engagement of Black or Minoritised Ethnic children and young people – locally, in services, and nationally, in national opportunities. As part of its ‘business as usual', this role will:

• Provide ‘hands-on' sessional and pastoral support for young people participating in the B-Amplified Network and those who are SEEN Ambassadors.
• Coordinate and support a programme of personal and skills development sessions for young people participating in the B-Amplified Network and those who are SEEN Ambassadors – such as training, webinars and similar – to ‘get them ready' to have a voice and influence in decision-making.
• Forge improved links between the B-Amplified Network and SEEN Ambassadors, to ensure clarity of role/s, engagement and our ‘menu' of opportunities.

For this role, we're looking for someone who brings: [shortlisting criteria]

• At least five years' experience in a role working directly with children and/or young people in a health, social care, education or youth work setting.
• Experience of designing, delivering and evaluating strategic voice and influence activities with young people – including through remote or virtual working.
• Knowledge and understanding of the practical application of anti-racist principles, practice and ways of working.
• Experience of working across complex structures, hierarchies and partnerships, with experience of working with a range of stakeholders at different levels and reporting through matrix arrangements.
• Ability to plan, deliver and evaluate projects, collaboratively and effectively.
• Excellent collaboration, networking and partnership-working skills.

Specific circumstances of this role:

The right candidate will:

• Be from a Black or Minoritised Ethnic (or ‘BAME', ‘Global Majority' or ‘African, Asian, Caribbean or Mixed heritage') community - this is a genuine occupational requirement.
• Live close to a national rail station and/or airport – as regular travel across the UK will be required, including overnight visits (1-2 times per month).
• Be able to work flexibly to accommodate direct work with young people outside of 'normal' hour (i.e. evenings and weekends).

Important to note:

We recognise the inherent power dynamics at play, and that the occupational requirement does not imply that the responsibility to ‘solve' the issue of diversity rests solely with a minoritised individual (or team). Instead, this role forms part of a wider, intentional commitment across the organisation to embed anti-racist and inclusive practice at every level and is why we have proposed a matrix management approach - to ensure the role is not siloed, but meaningfully supported and connected across teams.

A key focus will be to understand and address the structural and cultural barriers that children's services and internal teams may face when engaging with Black or Minoritised Ethnic young people.

When completing your application please refer to your skills knowledge and experience in relation to the Person Specification, Job Description and Additional Information document (if applicable). This should be done with an understanding of the context of the service described

Over the last ten years we have invested more than £71 million into research.

Those patient contributions are vital, always helping us and our partners to understand what life is like with kidney disease, always ensuring we see the patient behind the treatment and always reminding us that behind every statistic and every number is a person – the patients and the carers who inspire our mission and push us forward to make a difference and change the future of kidney disease.
