We are looking for a new senior political adviser who will help build on our relationships and networks across Westminster, to deliver ambitious political leadership on a range of issues.

• Represent Green Alliance at external events, including speaking on panels and webinars, and attending events and conferences.

• Where relevant, develop and maintain relationships across the environmental sector to maximise impact of our strategic priorities. 

• Strengthen and expand Green Alliance’s relationships with political journalists in the Westminster lobby and enhance their understanding of environmental issues and the politics around the net zero goal and nature. 

• Write (or ghost write) briefings, articles and content on behalf of Green Alliance, and our partners and allies, to effect meaningful policy change in Westminster. 

• Build relationships with MPs’ and peers’ offices to table Written and Oral Questions, provide briefings for debates and evidence sessions, and more, as well as strengthen relations with relevant select committee staff. 

• Manage projects efficiently, within budget and to deadlines, including the task management of other team members. 

• Initiate new projects and strategically develop existing ones to maximise our impact. 

• Lead funding bids for new projects, including setting budgets and work plans, liaising with the Director of politics and Director of strategic partnerships. 

• Be an active member of the Green Alliance staff team, contributing to a supportive and inclusive work culture. 

• Work effectively as part of a team and work independently with initiative and drive. 

• As required, manage consultants or freelancers. 

• Any other task which may reasonably be requested to be undertaken within the scope of this post.

What if your expertise in legal, risk, or assurance could shape how we navigate complex challenges at scale? You could be embedding excellence and credibility that protects and empowers our mission to end the devastation of dementia.

About the opportunity

As Head of Legal, Risk and Assurance, you'll lead three critical disciplines that form the backbone of trust, safety, and risk-informed decision-making at Alzheimer's Society. This is a people-focused leadership role within our Finance & Assurance directorate, overseeing professional teams delivering legal, risk management, and assurance services. You'll bring these areas together as one team, joining the dots to create real impact through compassionate, strategic leadership.

We're in the midst of an ambitious transformation programme, and you'll play a central role in ensuring this change is embedded effectively. Working in close partnership with management and trustees, you'll be a senior, credible, and visible voice. Influencing decisions, elevating standards, and building a culture where risk awareness and legal clarity empower rather than constrain our work.

This role brings together three disciplines, each led by experienced subject matter experts who will report into you. We're not expecting you to be an expert in all three areas. However, you should have significant professional experience in at least one, with strong knowledge and curiosity about the others. Above all, this is a people-focused position. Your ability to lead, develop, and inspire your teams, and those around you, will be just as important as your technical expertise.

If you're a strategic leader who thrives on building relationships, driving continuous improvement, and creating lasting impact in a cause-driven environment, we'd love to hear from you.

About you:

You're an accomplished leader with proven experience in legal, risk, or assurance. You'll bring both technical credibility and a track record of effective stakeholder management and people leadership. You're passionate about developing others, building high-performing teams, and creating an environment where professionals can thrive. You understand that when risk, legal, and audit is done best, it's done in collaboration. Keeping the end goal in mind, and enabling the best possible decisions that protect what matters most.

You'll have:

- Professional qualification in at least one discipline (qualified lawyer, risk professional, and/or chartered internal auditor) with demonstrable knowledge across legal, risk, and assurance areas.
- Significant line management experience, with a track record of leading, coaching, and developing teams through periods of change and growth.
- Proven ability to work in partnership with senior stakeholders, including trustees and executive leadership, providing clear, valuable, and risk-based guidance.
- Experience overseeing professional services that are visible, valued, and proactively consulted across an organisation.
- Strong communication and influencing skills, able to challenge constructively while building strong relationships, and translate complex technical matters into clear guidance for diverse audiences.
- A collaborative mindset and evidenced ability to drive continuous improvement, bringing best practice from across sectors to elevate standards and maturity.

What you'll focus on:

- Leading the legal, risk, and assurance teams, creating a culture of high performance, continuous learning, and professional excellence.
- Working in close partnership with executive management and trustees. Providing strategic advice and reporting on legal matters, risk landscape, and assurance findings to inform critical decisions.
- Driving forward our transformation programme, ensuring governance frameworks support rather than hinder change, and that legal, risk, and assurance considerations are embedded from the outset.
- Elevating the profile and maturity of all three disciplines. Making them visible partners across directorates and ensuring they're proactively consulted on key initiatives rather than brought in as an afterthought.
- Overseeing the facilitation of robust risk management systems, leading comprehensive assurance programmes, and ensuring legal services are professional, credible, and responsive to organisational needs.
- Managing departmental budgets, resource allocation, and capacity planning to ensure your teams can deliver first-class services that enable the Society's strategic objectives.
- Building and maintaining impactful external networks, using horizon scanning and sector best practice to keep the Society ahead of emerging risks and regulatory changes.
- Deputising for the Associate Director Risk and Assurance as required, representing Finance & Assurance at senior forums.

Can you see yourself as a trusted partner who helps Alzheimer's Society navigate complexity with confidence? Are you ready to lead teams where legal, risk, and assurance considerations are increasingly incorporated into decision-making? Can you join the dots between these disciplines to ensure the joint outcomes protect and enhance our ability to transform lives affected by dementia?
 
To be successful in this position, you may have existing experience in the following roles; Head of Internal Audit, Head of Risk Management, Head of Internal Audit and Risk, Head of Legal and Risk or other similar roles. We also welcome applicants with transferable skills.

Important Dates

The deadline for applications is 23:59 on Sunday 2nd November 2025.
Interviews will begin week commencing Monday 10th November 2025 and will be a 3 stage interview process which will include a presentation task at 2nd Stage.

In this role, you'll use data and market intelligence to drive value for money and cost savings. You'll design innovative tools and dashboards that demonstrate supply chain effectiveness. Crucially, you'll be THE specialist on IR35 and contractor compliance. The person the Society relies on to navigate complex employment regulations, maintain our position on Sole Traders and Limited Company Contractors, and ensure we meet every HMRC obligation. You and your team will be the point of contact for contractor onboarding, building effective relationships across all levels while working in close partnership with our People directorate.

Working closely with Procurement Business Partners and collaborating with Finance, Legal, Risk and IT teams, you'll develop strategies for everything from tail-end spend management to sustainability-driven procurement. You'll draft contract terms, manage supplier relationships, and engage widely to build awareness and understanding of effective supply chain management.
This role would suit someone who can operate strategically while staying hands-on with the detail. Someone who builds credibility through expertise, influences through clear communication, and drives change through partnership rather than process alone.

You will be responsible for managing a team of three direct reports and developing their capabilities while role-modelling the high-challenge, high-support culture that drives our team's success.

About you:

You're an experienced procurement professional with a proven track record in supply chain management within large or complex organisations. You understand that effective procurement isn't just about cost savings. It's about building robust processes, managing risk, ensuring compliance, and partnering with colleagues to achieve better outcomes. You're equally comfortable analysing spend data, negotiating with suppliers, advising on IR35 obligations, and influencing senior stakeholders to adopt best practice.

You'll have:

- Proven ability to design and implement procurement strategies in large or complex organisations, delivering efficiencies, cost savings and improved compliance through enhanced engagement with procurement policies.
- Demonstrable experience working with contractors, including deep knowledge of IR35 and HMRC obligations - essential as you'll be the Society's internal expert responsible for compliance, reporting and contractor onboarding.
- Significant experience of contract management and negotiation, including dispute resolution, with the ability to draft terms that mitigate contractual and commercial risk.
- Strong understanding of supply chain management and the procurement landscape, including relevant legislation, regulation and third sector considerations.
- Track record of building strong relationships with senior leaders and working across departmental boundaries (particularly with HR/People teams on employment-related matters) to resolve challenges and deliver strategic procurement partnership.
- Strong analytical and data-handling skills, with experience auditing databases, developing spend management strategies and producing reports that drive behaviour change.

What you’ll focus on:

- Harnessing spend data and market intelligence to unlock cost savings and operational efficiencies across our tail spend that protect resources and maximise impact across the Society.
- Creating innovative tools, dashboards and strategies that transform how we manage suppliers and contractors, making our supply chain effectiveness visible and actionable.
- Partnering with senior colleagues across directorates to understand strategic priorities and provide expert procurement guidance that enables better, faster decisions.
- Owning the Society's approach to contractor compliance as THE internal expert - maintaining our overall position on Sole Traders and Limited Company Contractors, ensuring IR35 compliance, managing HMRC reporting requirements (including CEST checks and status determination letters), and serving as the point of engagement throughout contractor onboarding in close partnership with our People team.
- Building strategies that make procurement accessible and effective for all colleagues, including approaches for managing lower value spend that balance efficiency with control.
- Collaborating across Finance, Legal, Risk, People, IT and Sustainability teams to create a supply chain that's compliant, efficient, and environmentally responsible.

Can you see yourself as the procurement expert who combines strategic thinking with practical partnership?
