Job description

Steven.com is the definitive creator–entrepreneur holding company, pioneering a new model for building iconic, community-first businesses. Our ecosystem spans three interconnected pillars: Media (led by The Diary of a CEO), Incubator (launching founder-led ventures), and Fund (investing in companies aligned with our mission). Together, they form a powerful flywheel building companies that elevate the standard for a healthier, happier humanity while creating exceptional enterprise value.

The Mission

The Head of Social Impact will be the architect of how Steven.com uses its platform, capital, and influence to create measurable change in people's lives. You will help turn our mission of "healthier, happier humanity" from aspiration into action.

Your mission is to design and lead a social impact strategy that is integrated, authentic, and scalable. You will leverage our media reach (70M+ monthly listeners), investment capital, and community to create opportunity for underrepresented communities, democratise access to knowledge, and prove that building iconic businesses and driving social impact are not mutually exclusive.

Key Responsibilities

Strategy & Integration

• Embed impact into business strategy and investment decisions, not as separate function
• Create transparent impact reporting demonstrating tangible outcomes
• Develop comprehensive social impact framework with measurable goals across Media, Incubator, and Fund

Media for Good

• Partner with Media team to create educational content addressing social challenges (mental health, financial literacy, entrepreneurship)
• Expand partnerships like His Majesty's Prison Service to reach underserved audiences
• Measure media impact beyond reach: track behaviour change and life improvements

Entrepreneurship & Economic Mobility

• Design programs increasing access to entrepreneurship for BAME, women, and underrepresented founders
• Build partnerships with schools and community organisations creating pathways into business
• Create mentorship and accelerator programs leveraging Steven.com network

Community Programs & Partnerships

• Build flagship programs creating tangible opportunity (apprenticeships, fellowships, grants)
• Develop strategic partnerships with nonprofits, educational institutions, and government agencies
• Design community events bringing our audience together around shared values

Fundraising and Impact Investing

• Fundraising experience
• Integrate impact criteria into Fund investment decisions
• Support Incubator in launching ventures targeting social challenges with commercial models
• Track and report social/environmental outcomes across portfolio

Key Outcomes

• Clear impact thesis with measurable goals across all three pillars
• Millions of people reached annually through targeted impact programs with documented behaviour change
• 100s of people from underrepresented backgrounds supported through entrepreneurship programs within the first year
• Ensure Fund investments meet social impact criteria with tracked outcomes
• Ensure a certain percentage of Incubator companies founded by underrepresented entrepreneurs
• Develop strategic partnerships with leading organisations in education, criminal justice, mental health
• Steven.com recognized as leader in creator-driven social impact
• Community perceives impact work as genuine and integral to brand, not performative

Competencies & Experience

• Impact Leader – 8+ years leading social impact or mission‑driven programs at scale in media, tech, or consumer brands
• Strategic Integrator – embeds social impact into business strategy, not separate function
• Community Builder – deep nonprofit/education connections with track record of meaningful partnerships
• Storyteller – communicates impact in compelling, authentic ways that inspire action
• Data‑Driven – rigorous approach to measuring outcomes and optimising programs
• Entrepreneurial – builds programs from scratch with limited resources
• Mission Aligned – personal commitment to creating opportunity for underrepresented communities
• Business Acumen – creates shared value where social impact and business success reinforce each other
• Cultural Sensitivity – deep understanding of barriers faced by underrepresented communities with authentic credibility
