**Salary range**:£30,000-£40,000 p.a.

**About Thermly**

Thermly Limited is a growing, Manchester-based provider of digital, software and other consultancy services.

The company represents the culmination of several decades’ worth of work in the built environment, digital, energy and finance sectors by the founders. We bring that experience to bear to develop innovative, digitally driven approaches to some of the UK’s most challenging climate related issues. Our highly customer-centric mission is therefore to harness the power of data, digital systems and collaborative intelligence to accelerate the transition to a zero-carbon economy.

To that end, Thermly:

- Develops its own data and software packages that support this transition using its own a dedicated software development team
- Provides consultancy advice and support to both the public sector (at all geographic levels) and the private sector, aligned to its mission
- Actively innovates and collaborates with like-minded and driven organisations to support and add value across all its activities, with a particular focus on facilitation and delivery of measurable carbon reduction activity in the built environment
- Relentlessly focuses on understanding the needs of, and adding value to our customers, whether individual householders or multinational blue-chip companies

We are committed to delivering positive impact for all our partners, collaborators and stakeholders, and aim to meet the highest standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability.

**Duties and Details**

Specific duties of this role include:

- Design, development, delivery and oversight of a key research programme led by Thermly related to supporting the transition of households to more sustainable forms of heat
- Responsibility for delivery of key research outcomes and achievement of associated funding milestones
- Data management, analysis, manipulation and visualisation, and use of digital technologies
- Management of all related research outputs and data in close collaboration with the software development team
- Advising the directors of the company on in general on research approach, strategy, best practice, outcomes and other related considerations
- Anything else that we need you to do - we are a small team and everyone contributes across the business when required to do so

What kind of person are we looking for?

We are looking for an analytical professional who excels at working independently when they need to (which will be quite often in this role), but you must also be able to work productively within our small, but diverse and growing, team.

This is a research-focused role so you also need to:

- Have great attention to detail and a rigorous approach to research planning, data collection and subsequent analysis
- Be able to converse and engage at multiple different levels with a range of different stakeholders, partners, collaborators and the general public
- Be very capable when using Microsoft products and all that that entails
- Be passionate - and optimistic - about finding solutions to dealing with climate change. Your glass be half full.

What about work experience and qualifications?
- You need to be able to demonstrate relevant experience of working in a professional environment - either in academia, or the private sector, or both - in a research capacity.
- We’re resisting providing a minimum number of years’ experience - or being specific about ‘minimum’ level of qualifications. The latter in particular isn’t always a great indicator of on-the-job competence and capability

**Diversity, Equity and Inclusion**

We are committed to creating a diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace. We believe that diversity is a strength and that everyone should be treated with respect and dignity, regardless of their background, beliefs, or opinions.
- Diversity: We are committed to building a diverse workforce that reflects the communities we serve. We believe that diversity brings different perspectives, experiences and ideas that help us to better understand and meet the needs of our clients.
- Equity: We are committed to providing equal opportunities for all employees, regardless of their race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, or any other characteristic protected by law. We believe that everyone should have an equal chance to succeed and reach their full potential.
- Inclusion: We are committed to creating an inclusive workplace where everyone feels valued, respected and supported. We believe that everyone should be able to bring their w
