**About Nesta**

We are Nesta, the UK’s innovation agency for social good. We design, test and scale solutions to society’s biggest problems. Our three missions are to give every child a fair start, help people live healthy lives, and create a sustainable future where the economy works for both people and the planet.

For over 20 years, we have worked to support, encourage and inspire innovation. We work in three roles: as an innovation partner working with frontline organisations to design and test new solutions, as a venture builder supporting new and early stage businesses, and as a system shaper creating the conditions for innovation.

**Challenge Works**

Challenge Works is at the forefront of identifying and defining problems where new ideas, technologies and approaches can be encouraged to radically improve outcomes and then developing and managing challenge prizes that optimise the likelihood of success.

Challenge Works is looking for a Programme Coordinator to join its team and work across several of its programmes. This role will be key to the day-to-day development and delivery of a diverse range of UK and international prizes that are tackling some of the biggest challenges of our time.

We have launched prizes that include improving outcomes for Nepalese farmers, improving access to energy for refugees and the £10m Longitude Prize for antimicrobial resistance. Some of our prizes include the EU Social Innovation Competition, the Toyota Mobility Unlimited Challenge and prizes aimed at creating a paradigm shift in the delivery of surgical training, and engaging young people in developing tech for social good and grasping the basics of entrepreneurship.
