The Institute of Physics (IOP) is seeking a Head of Policy to join the Senior Management Team and lead the design and delivery of a high-profile programme of policy work and engagement that will underpin key parts of the IOP's five-year strategy.
Working with a talented policy team, colleagues from across the organisation and IOP members, the Head of Policy will spearhead the IOP's efforts to inform and influence decision makers and opinion formers in the UK and Ireland, to build strategic partnerships and to increase the visibility and impact of the IOP's policy work. The Head of Policy will play a central role in the development of ambitious new programmes and large scale projects with the aim of fostering national debate and long-lasting societal and economic impact.
The role
This is a senior leadership role, reporting to the Director of Policy and Public Affairs and working closely with other members of the Executive Team. The Head will lead and manage the policy team and work with colleagues from across the organisation (including other Heads and Policy Managers in Scotland, Ireland and Wales) to design and deliver projects and activities that bring the IOP's five-year strategy to life through an ambitious set of programmes. The Head will also work with other Heads of department around the UK and Ireland to ensure the whole organisation is run efficiently.
They will be responsible for ensuring that there is excellent engagement with our membership, for making sure that policy projects and activities are high quality, high impact and consistent with the IOP’s strategy and business plan.
The person
We are seeking candidates who are dependable, strategic thinkers with leadership experience and excellent people management skills.
They must also be able to bring clear insight and creative, incisive thinking to bear on complex problems, be adept at analysing and using evidence to explore new solutions to major challenges and be able to provide intellectual leadership and direction to teams, individuals, programmes and projects.

The University
Our University has a proud history of philanthropy stretching back to its foundation in 1900. With a clear vision to change the lives of the people of Birmingham, Joseph Chamberlain raised the funds required to build the University from citizens and corporations based locally and around the globe. Since then philanthropy has continued to play an important role in shaping the University. Having closed the Circles of Influence Campaign in 2015, which raised £193 million, making it the largest HE fundraising campaign outside Oxbridge and London, we have chosen to launch another, Birmingham in Action. This is the fifth largest fundraising campaign in the modern history of UK Higher Education.
The University has global reach, including several partnerships with other leading universities around the world, and is grounded in its local community, having opened the first fully comprehensive University secondary school in the country in 2015. It is also an innovative institution, being the first University to incorporate a Medical School, the first to create a students’ union, and the first to offer a women’s hall of residence. We are an ambitious and successful research-intensive University (one of the top 100 research-led universities globally) and have produced 11 Nobel Prize winners, including three who received their awards in 2016.
Our student body is one of the largest and most diverse in the UK. Our students come from nearly 150 countries and our flagship outreach programmes mean that almost 25% of our student population come from disadvantaged backgrounds, one of the highest proportions in the UK.
The Office
The Development and Alumni Relations Office (DARO) exists to support this academic and student community by engaging, inspiring, and celebrating alumni, individuals, and charitable funders who give their money, time, and networks to support the University’s strategic priorities. The Office, which comprises nearly 60 staff across four teams, is focused on fundraising and volunteering from alumni and individuals who are passionate about our five current campaign themes: everyone getting an education; treating and preventing cancer; families fleeing war, violence and famine; young people’s mental health; and protecting our planet.
The campaign has been planned, the framework created; it is unique and hugely ambitious, and will see Birmingham become one of the leading fundraising and volunteering universities in the world.
The Role
We are now looking for an Associate Director of Fundraising to maximise our enormous income generation potential; coach, nurture and challenge the well-established fundraising team; and deliver a bold and innovative strategy to support this exciting campaign, raising significant gifts yourself as you do.
The University of Birmingham is one of the largest and most diverse employers in the region, with around 6000 staff working in a range ... Read more
