About IDEMS
IDEMS is a UK-based social enterprise developing the novel human-centred technology infrastructure and products needed to affordably, sustainably scale expert-developed social interventions in variable low-resource communities globally for the greatest social impact.
IDEMS is now at an inflection point of innovation and growth.
Our innovation emerges from applied R&D in long-term multidisciplinary innovation collaborations. IDEMS impact-trained mathematical scientists and applied technologists partner with field-leading experts, UN agencies, global and local NGOs and researchers, and affected stakeholders to address grand challenges in areas including education, public health and climate resilience.
Across variable multiyear, multidisciplinary grand-challenge collaborations, IDEMS has validated the need for and is piloting impact-enabling socio-technical innovation to address a major unmet challenge: How to enable local stakeholders to adapt, take ownership of, and continuously improve, in collaboration with global experts, impact programming to meet the needs of their communities–and do this affordably, sustainably, at scale across variable low-resource contexts?
IDEMS is developing the novel socio-technical frameworks, infrastructure and products to address this challenge. At the heart of our work is pioneering “meaningful semantic interoperability”. Grounded in the application of frontier mathematical theory and made possible by advances in AI, IDEMS innovation transforms impact programme code and content into structured, reusable atomic data elements that can be malleably reordered, recombined or replaced to create unlimited, entirely new programme applications, interoperable down to the structured atomic data element level.
IDEMS innovation unlocks impact at scale by enabling: 1) local programme adaptation to meet the highly variable digital, social and economic realities of low-resource contexts, 2) multidirectional data sharing and sensemaking for continuous systemic and local programme improvement, and 3) local ownership and control for a new model of affordable, sustainable, and community-accountable impact innovation.
In this context, IDEMS faces the challenge of being a deeply innovative technology company, requiring significant mission-aligned impact financing to develop pioneering innovation, with an uncompromising mission to serve the public good.
The Opportunity
IDEMS is seeking to appoint a Non-Executive Director to join its Board at this exciting stage of growth.
Role Purpose
The Non-Executive Director will provide independent oversight, strategic guidance, and constructive challenge, helping ensure IDEMS delivers on its social mission while strengthening organisational sustainability and impact.
While IDEMS operates at a deep academic and technical level, the role does not require deep technical or mathematical expertise. The Non-Executive Director’s value lies in their ability to develop an understanding of the systemic barriers to responsibly, inclusively scaling social impact in low-resource contexts–and of how existing approaches to scaling impact with technology at best often fail to deliver meaningful impact and at worst introduce new harms and dependencies.
From that understanding, the Non-Executive Director will bring clear strategic perspective that includes offering high-level challenge and insight to help shape direction, identifying funding and partnership opportunities, strengthening decision-making, and ensuring alignment with social mission.
Key Responsibilities
- Contribute to the strategic direction of the organisation
- Provide independent scrutiny and governance oversight
- Support the executive team through challenge and advice
- Help ensure alignment between mission, impact, and sustainability
- Act as an ambassador for IDEMS, supporting fundraising, partnerships and visibility
Person Specification
We are particularly interested in individuals who bring a combination of the following (we do not expect any one person to have all of these):
- Senior leadership or board-level experience
- Interest in social impact, international development, or education
- Strong understanding of, or experience with, social and non-equity-based enterprise investment (of particular interest)
- Understanding of technology, data, or innovation ecosystems (desirable)
- Experience in governance, finance, scaling organisations, partnerships, or impact evaluation
A commitment to IDEMS’ values is essential, including collaboration, respect for complexity, and a focus on long-term impact.
Time Commitment
Approximately 5–10 days per year, including Board meetings and at least one full day at an in-person team meeting.
Why Join IDEMS?
- Be part of a globally recognised social enterprise addressing complex challenges
- Work with a diverse, international team
- Contribute to innovative approaches to technology for public good, including advancing new models for responsible, accountable AI
- Help shape an organisation focused on long-term, meaningful impact
