Our programming spotlights critical social and
environmental issues—including climate change, financial resilience,

resonant.

You will lead the development of The
Conduit’s Solutions Agenda – our annual editorial framework for all our impact
work and programming -- drive weekly editorial publications, oversee the design
of content for conferences and events and work closely with our Impact,
