Job Details

The Royal Institution (Ri) is an independent charity that exists to connect as many people as possible with science.

For more than 200 years science and scientific discoveries have been at the heart of human progress and development. They will continue to be so in the future.

But science is increasingly contested. There is a growing prevalence of misinformation and pseudo-science that put at risk the prosperity of the nation, the effective functioning of society, and even, as the pandemic and climate change are showing, global health and the very future of our planet.

The Ri exists to address these challenges. With our extraordinary heritage, access to the world’s leading scientists, multiple channels to reach the public, including a large and growing digital presence and a highly regarded schools programme, we have an extraordinary platform with which to deliver our critically important vision and mission.

The purpose of this role will be to sharpen our strategic focus, develop our talented and passionate team and collaborate with the wider science engagement sector. Together we’ll inspire a spirit of exploration and critical thinking in our nation as well as nurture the scientists of tomorrow.

You will be a leader with track record of significantly growing organisations in income, impact and reputation. You will bring a love of science, a strong strategic mind, outstanding relationship building qualities and an ability to draw the best out of a talented and passionate team. As important as your skills and expertise will be your character, which like that of the best scientists, will be curious, open, determined, collaborative and selfless.  

If this sounds like you, you could be joining at an exciting time for science globally when science is back in the media, in favour with government and of growing interest to the public.

For more details including how to apply please see the information attached. Applications to be received by 8th October 2021.

Company
