This is an exciting opportunity for a Strategy Lead to work closely with the Senior Leadership Team to deliver an ambitious, forward-thinking strategy for a charity that builds a better future for disabled people. Over the next 12 months, you will implement this strategy in an innovative way, utilizing your experience in impact and purpose-led environments.

I am keen to speak with a skilled strategic thinker who is comfortable handling large amounts of qualitative and quantitative data and reconciling different perspectives. You should be an experienced programme manager or have experience managing complex projects independently within a strategy or research context.

With data and insights collected, the organization understands the questions that need answering to ensure an effective strategy for the next five years. The strategy encompasses ten broad workstreams, including approaches to grant-making, innovation, partnerships, finances, and equity, diversity, and inclusion. The organization aims to answer key questions and develop their new strategy through three sprint processes from August to December, concluding in April 2025.

The role:

1. Programme manage an agile strategy process across ten defined workstreams in a flexible and pragmatic manner (June – March).
2. Design and facilitate three sprints that enable workstream leads to refine strategic assumptions, gather insights from disabled people and stakeholders, and develop objectives for the upcoming strategy period (July – December).
3. Collaborate with the Director of Performance and Innovation and colleagues to consolidate these workstreams into a forward-looking strategy.
4. Work with the communications team to establish and execute an engagement and communications plan for the new strategy.

You will join a fantastic team with excellent benefits, work/life balance, and a supportive, forward-thinking culture.

• This is a 12-month fixed-term contract, with a start date at the beginning of July.
• Location: Hybrid. 2 days in the Harlow, Essex office, 3 days from home. Harlow is 18 minutes from Tottenham Court Road or 30 minutes from Liverpool Street station. A shuttle service is provided from the station.
