The Royal Academy of Engineering is harnessing the power of engineering to build a sustainable society and an inclusive economy that works for everyone.

In collaboration with our Fellows and partners, we’re growing talent and developing skills for the future, driving innovation and building global partnerships, and influencing policy and engaging the public. Together we’re working to tackle the greatest challenges of our age.

Our vision is of a world-leading truly inclusive engineering profession that inspires, attracts and retains people from diverse backgrounds. UK engineering is facing serious skills shortages and addressing diversity and inclusion will not only help bridge this gap; it will also help drive innovation and creativity and ensure that those who design and build the world around us are more reflective of wider society.

We are looking for an exceptional Senior Manager with research and programme management experience for a 12-month fixed term contract, to lead the delivery of two high-profile diversity and inclusion projects to meet the goals set out in our Diversity and Inclusion Action Plan 2020 - 2025.

Working closely with our Head of Diversity and Inclusion, and consulting with a wide range of stakeholders and experts, you will deliver a comprehensive research project on standard-setting, benchmarking and charter-mark practices, making recommendations for the development of an accountability mechanism for engineering companies. In short, we will look to you to lead the research and consultation phase in respect of one of the Academy’s most significant diversity and inclusion projects for the coming 5 years – so we need someone exceptional.

A good strategic thinker, with well-honed judgement, research and analytical skills, you will also oversee delivery of the Academy’s award-winning Graduate Engineering Engagement Programme (GEEP) to increase the transition of engineering graduates from diverse backgrounds into engineering employment. This will include overseeing the delivery of the 2020 programme and consultation and research to develop proposals for the future expansion of GEEP.

Experienced in working with both internal and external stakeholders and contractors, you will have a good working knowledge of diversity and inclusion issues and be passionate about making a difference. You will need experience of conducting research in diversity and inclusion or experience of industry standard setting/benchmarking or monitoring and evaluation.

You will bring an innovative mindset, proven ability to manage complex projects, and the ability to build and maintain relationships with a variety of people, including senior and expert stakeholders. Finally, a background in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) would be useful, as would knowledge of existing diversity and inclusion practices and standards within the engineering industry, but it’s your ability to use strategic thinking in your work and present well researched arguments and recommendations in a credible and convincing manner that will matter most.

If this sounds like you, we would love to hear from you.

In return, we offer a fantastic package of benefits including a non-contributory pension scheme, BUPA cash plan, private medical insurance, subsidised restaurant, regular social activities, health and wellbeing programmes, as well as significant investment into your personal and professional development.

About Theirworld
Theirworld is an influential global charity aiming to end the global education crisis and unleash the potential of the next generation. We work to ensure that every child has the best start in life, a safe place to learn, and skills for the future. To achieve this, we are tackling the lack of political will, financial commitment and action that is currently preventing the realisation of inclusive, quality education for all children. We bring together experience and evidence from our research and projects alongside the passion and power of our campaigns and communications to unlock the big, transformational changes needed to end the global education crisis.

We have existed since 2002, and we are currently going through an exciting period of growth and transformation - assembling a world-class team of campaigners, communicators, researchers, advocates and project managers with the skills, commitment to our mission, and strong team spirit and creative energy to turn the organisation’s vision into reality.

About the role

The program focuses on, supporting networking and connections between GYAs, providing training and skills development, and facilitating exciting and impactful campaigning opportunities.

In 2020, we want to invest in scaling-up this program to make it the absolute go-to network for youth campaigners who want to be at the forefront of the future of education and for this to help create a transformational youth movement for education. Such a powerful youth movement for education is so critically needed right now to pressure decision-makers to prioritise and fund education at the levels required to end the global education crisis. This investment in 2020 will involve further expanding the size of the network and investing in improved tools and approaches to offer greater training and campaigning opportunities for GYAs. This role will lead on turning that strategic vision into reality – you will be an inspiring leader who understands how to develop and maintain a first-class global youth engagement campaigning program and be able to translate strategic objectives into practical plans and execute those plans effectively.

The Senior Youth Engagement Manager will report to the Director of Policy, Advocacy and Programs and be based in our London office, with occasional domestic and international travel as required.

● Develop and deliver plans to publicise the GYA network to attract more applications from exciting youth campaigners to further expand the network.

● Develop and deliver interesting and relevant communications with our GYAs (e.g. newsletter, posts in the online community etc.) to help inform and engage the GYAs on key topics related to global education and Theirworld’s advocacy goals.
● Work closely with our communications team to effectively profile and engage GYAs in Theirworld’s external communications.
● Work closely with our Campaigns and Advocacy Managers to create and facilitate opportunities for GYAs to engage in (and create their own) campaign activities (both remote/online and attendance at high-level events such as the UN General Assembly).
● Work closely with the Director of Policy, Advocacy and Programs to create and implement an internal structure for the GYA program to enable simple tiers of engagement to balance the demands of a large network and for opportunities for deeper levels of engagement and impact from some of our GYAs.
● Oversee the effective delivery and maintenance of administrative processes to review GYA applications and GYA databases and line manage the Project Assistant for the GYA team.
● Monitor, flag and support swift and effective responses to any safeguarding issues affecting our GYAs (in close collaboration and under overall guidance of our Safeguarding Lead).
● Additional duties and responsibilities as assigned.

Experience, skills and character
You should have:
● At least 5-7 years’ experience working in youth engagement – ideally related to international development and campaigning.
● Strong passion for ending the global education crisis and knowledge of the different stakeholders and processes involved in this sector.
