Our ‘Evolving to Ada 2.0’ strategy through to December 2025 focuses on doubling our learner volumes to 1000 enrolled while continuing to drive up diversity and ensure we maintain the quality of our applicants and the education and support they receive. We are building an impact function as a key foundation to help us get there and this role would lead it.
Our diverse and talented staff members, from education, corporate and non-profit backgrounds, make us unique and we’re passionate about building a supportive, values driven environment for both our students and staff.
**What’s your mission?**
This is an exciting opportunity for a dynamic Head of Impact to build Ada’s impact management function, leading Ada’s emerging impact strategy in partnership with the Executive Leadership Team (ELT), co-designing a new impact management framework, and fostering an impact culture across our organisation. This will include:
- Work with the Director of Performance and Operations and other stakeholders (e.g. Impetus Foundation) to articulate Ada’s approach to managing our impact over the next three years
- Work closely with stakeholders, including the Board of Trustees, to implement the agreed impact management approach and embed impact practices across all levels of the organisation
- Iteratively review, update and evolve our approach, bringing staff along on the journey to ensure Ada has an impact-focused culture as well as the ability to rigorously evidence our impact internally and externally
- Represent Ada to a wide range of stakeholders, from Government to private sector donors, in a variety of different environments from seminars and conferences to private dinners and lunch‘n’learns at fast-growing tech companies.
**Key responsibilities of this role include**:
**Impact leadership**

- Provide the necessary insights and support for the Board, CEO and Leadership Team to make strategic decisions based on reliable quantitative and qualitative data.
- Play a leading role in driving the changes required to improve learner diversity and outcomes (including quality assurance; compliance; systems & processes, and evaluation).
- Steward Ada's commitment to achieving outcomes for our young people by engaging the whole staff team with the impact agenda.
**Systems, processes and reporting**
- Create data systems building on what we already have that will support the evaluation, research, and performance management needs of the organisation
- Develop and manage organisation-wide impact reporting. You will be responsible for the integrity, quality, relevance and timeliness of reporting to staff and other stakeholders about Ada's impact, from the diversity of our learners, to the impact of our courses, all the way through to long-term job outcomes
- Work with the External Relations team to (1) define and develop our framework for impact reporting to funders and support funding bids and (2) inform the organisation’s broader impact narrative for marketing purposes
- Train and support staff in the effective use of impact measurement tools.
**Quality assurance and evaluation**
