8 Transformation manager jobs in Westminster, Greater London

Use economic modelling to help governments invest in services that keep children with their families and reduce reliance on institutional care.
At Lumos, you’ll lead the development of AI-supported tools that show what care reform costs and how it can be funded.

About the role

Lumos works with governments and local partners around the world so more children can grow up in safe, loving families. In this new senior technical role, you’ll lead the economic modelling work for Lumos Shapes, our initiative to help governments and funders make informed decisions about financing care reform. You’ll work across our Evidence, Programmes and Advocacy teams and with external partners. The role has no line management responsibilities.

What you’ll do

• Analyse how care systems are funded and what it would cost to expand family support, prevent unnecessary separation and provide family-based alternatives to institutional care.

• Build and test AI-supported tools that let decision-makers compare investment scenarios. In your first year, you’ll apply a tool for analysing funding flows to Kenya and Colombia.

• Translate complex analysis into clear advice for governments, donors and partners on how to fund and phase reform.

What you’ll bring

You’ll have a degree in economics, finance, statistics, mathematics or a related quantitative field, alongside significant experience in modelling, health economics, or costing and budgeting for public services. You’ll also have practical experience using AI tools for economic analysis or real-time costing or investment modelling, and be comfortable explaining your findings to people without a technical background.

We welcome applicants from health, public services and international development. Prior experience in children’s care reform is welcome and optional.

Contract, location and pay

This is a full-time, 12-month fixed-term role, with any extension subject to funding. It is UK-based, with scope to appoint in the US or through Lumos offices in Kenya, Moldova or Colombia. The UK salary is £50,000–£55,000 per year. Pay in other eligible locations is benchmarked locally. UK benefits include hybrid and flexible working, 30 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays, and enhanced family leave.
