Line managed by the Faculty Research Impact Manager, you will work closely with the Faculty leadership team to support this ambitious new approach to impact support and evaluation, ahead of the next iteration of the Research Excellence Framework (REF). You will also work closely with departmental (academic) impact leads, department-embedded research support and the Research, Innovation and Knowledge Exchange (RI&KE) directorate (specifically the Knowledge Exchange Enhancement Team) to ensure continuity of support across the institution.

- Work with Faculty leadership to identify areas of strength and weakness, and put in place strategies - and associated activities - to build upon areas of strength and seed new impact activities
- Work with the Building Research and Innovation Capacity (BRIC) team to provide impact training and support to academics, identifying additional training needs in relation to the faculty REF impact pipeline
- Support the building of high quality evaluation into priority impact projects, ensuring that the evidence required to corroborate impact claims (ahead of any future REF exercise) is identified, and appropriately collected and stored
- In conjunction with the Faculty Partnerships Manager, liaise with a variety of external stakeholders, including industry, policymakers and practitioners to build relationships that maximise the opportunities for impact and to corroborate any impact achieved
- Work with the Policy, Integrity and Performance (PIP) team, as part of the process to develop institution-wide best practice around future REF impact case study development and selection
- Operate as the primary point of contact with the internal funding team in relation to the day-to-day management of the ESRC IAA

**Skills, Experience & Qualification needed**:
Required skills and qualities include:

- Educated to degree level (or equivalent professional experience)
