London, United Kingdom On Think Tanks - Independent Research, Ideas and Advice Full time

The Centre for London is seeking a Research Director to generate ideas that will inform policy and help shape London‘s future.
The Centre for London is a London-based independent think tank, and a registered charity. Their research and events explore ways to make London even better. As Research Director, you will lead Centre for London’s research team, developing new solutions to London’s critical challenges, securing funding for our work, preparing, publishing and promoting reports, supporting public events, and communicating our work to stakeholders and policymakers.
As a member of the senior leadership team, you will help develop and implement the organisational strategy; contribute to the development, fundraising and delivery of events and other projects; and promote the ideas of the organisation to build its influence in existing and new public and private arenas.

You will have strong analytical skills, including a track record of qualitative and quantitative research. This is ideally a full-time role; however, flexible working is embedded within our culture. We would be open to applications from people who would like to work compressed hours, part time (0.We are keen to encourage applications from women, people from minority ethnic and/or less advantaged backgrounds, or from communities often underrepresented in urban policy.
