The Role:
Join us as Head of Research at Oxfam Great Britain and lead groundbreaking qualitative and quantitative research on key priorities within a global confederation.

If you're passionate about shaping research for impact, we want to hear from you! What we are looking for:
We’re looking for a candidate who cares about Oxfam's mission to end poverty and is personally aligned to our feminist principles and values of empowerment, accountability, and inclusion in all you do. An ideal candidate for the role will also have: Experience in managing dispersed teams of up to 6 people, managing performance of others and coaching people to develop, grow and achieve their potential, including increasing diversity and inclusion in teams and/or workplaces. Experience of designing and delivering formative quantitative and qualitative research on OGB priority areas (gender, economic, climate justice policy, and programming). Experience of having undertaken research within contexts that Oxfam currently works in. Strong skills and experience in collaborative research and using this to inform systems changes through programming and strategy. Strong conceptual and analytical thinking, at ease with the use of statistics and economic theory, related to at least one area of Oxfam’s current policy priorities: Inequality (in the UK or globally), Climate, Fragility, Decent Work for Women. Outstanding communications skills (written and verbal), with extensive experience of external representation. High level of analytical and strategic thinking; able to translate complex issues into simple, workable actions and plans, and able to innovate and adapt to diverse contexts, partnerships, and issues. Strong and consistent drive for results. Good understanding, commitment, and ideally experience embedding and continuously learning to embed a decolonial, safe, anti-racist, intersectional feminist and partner-led approach in your work. Master's degree level qualification. We offer:
We offer a competitive salary and a range of additional benefits to staff including flexible working options, generous pension scheme, annual leave, additional leave allowances, company sick pay, life assurance, and a range of other benefits.
