• Pilot and Evaluate Programs - Collaborate with teams to run small-scale trials, assess outcomes, and iterate on designs based on data and feedback.
• Knowledge Sharing - Provide guidance on behavioural insights to volunteers and staff, empowering others to use these principles in everyday tasks and decision-making.
• Shape Organisational Culture - Contribute to the evolution of Bridging Beyond’s internal practices, ensuring we maintain a consistent, empathetic approach across all activities.

• Analytical & Creative - Able to design experiments, interpret data, and brainstorm creative ways to encourage empathy and reduce bias.
• Effective Communicator - Skilled at translating complex theories into accessible strategies, both for internal team use and public-facing materials.
• Collaborative & Adaptive - Open to working with individuals across different teams, adjusting priorities as Bridging Beyond’s needs evolve.
• Mission-Driven - Passionate about bridging social divides, with a strong desire to see real-world impact from your behavioural insights work.
