  • Collect, analyse, and publish diversity data to track progress and inform future strategies.
  • Support the Diversity and Inclusion Committee and related subgroups.
  • Promote the contributions of diverse scientists through internal communications and external campaigns.

  • Proven ability to advise and influence senior leaders, stakeholders, and cross-functional teams.
  • Experience in designing and implementing diversity initiatives, research projects, or policy development.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to engage diverse audiences.
  • Data-driven approach to programme management, evaluation, and reporting.
  • Budget management experience with a track record of delivering cost-effective programmes.
