Organisational Development Director
London, N4 (with hybrid or remote working)

About Us

Economy does long-term work to build power with people experiencing economic injustice through collectively understanding, reimagining and changing the economy. Our vision is of a world with economies that meet the needs and priorities of people currently experiencing economic injustice.

Our new five-year strategy, which will be publicly launched in early 2023, sets out how we plan to do this work. Our two new posts, working alongside the team and our newly appointed trustees, will be a crucial part of overseeing this work and ensuring that we are carrying out our mission in the best possible way.

Our new strategy identifies a gap in the many organisations working on economic change. We have an ambitious plan for how we can do long-term work to build power directly with people experiencing economic injustice and collectively understand, reimagine and change the economy. The strategy is ambitious and far-reaching. It sets out our plans to expand and grow the team in the next year and beyond.

Ahead of the launch of our new strategy we have restructured to create posts aligned with our new vision and principles. We are now recruiting for a new Organisational Development Director to support the infrastructure of Economy.

- Salary of £43,886 per annum
- Flexible working
- A commitment to the development and success of our staff
- Join an organisation with a diverse and truly representative board of trustees

This is a fantastic opportunity for a high calibre professional with experience of finance and HR to join our growing organisation.

We are a diverse and passionate team, who have meticulously crafted an open and inclusive environment. We do this by encouraging and facilitating flexible working, promoting professional development and through a commitment to our staff’s health and wellbeing.

The Role

As the Organisational Development Director, you will oversee the effective development and delivery of systems to support of our organisational strategy, HR policies and financial security.

Overseeing our HR and People Team, you will review and develop our HR policies and systems with a focus on our Diversity, Inclusion and Anti-Oppression policy.

We aim for diversity, inclusion and anti-oppression (DIAO) to sit at the core of all of our work: both the ways that we organise ourselves and work together within the organisation and in the ways that we design and carry out our external facing work. Achieving this is not a simple task and will require continuing effort on many fronts, but we are strongly committed to achieving it.
