Research Lead - Trials

* Please note we only accept online applications.*

The Centre for Inclusive Money is recruiting a thoughtful, collaborative Research Lead who combines technical trials expertise with the ability to project manage complex research projects. The Research Lead will work closely with an Associate Director (who will act as the overall Project Lead), designing and delivering the research while coordinating partners, resources and different strands of work.

You’ll be focussed on the smooth-running of projects and maximising impact from the work. You’ll also be as comfortable getting into the detail as stepping back to see what the evidence means. You’ll have the technical and relational skills to drive projects forward, managing different moving parts and ensuring milestones are met. You’ll bring curiosity, sound judgment and a genuine commitment to research that supports financial security and delivers real-world impact for people in low- and moderate-income households across the UK.

The Research Lead helps shape and deliver system-changing research at the Centre for Inclusive Money. Working closely with colleagues and partners, you’ll take projects from ideas to delivery to insights, turn what we learn into compelling outputs, and be a confident voice for Inclusive Money when we share our work with the world.

• You can take a research question, design the right trial approach, and deliver complex field trials, RCTs, pilots or quasi-experimental studies from start to finish.
• You're confident working with complex datasets and coding in R or Stata, knowing instinctively which analytical approach to use, while also quality assuring and supporting the development of others' work.
• You've successfully led large, multi-partner research programmes, balancing multiple work streams, stakeholders, budgets and milestones while keeping delivery on track.
• You know when to zoom into the detail and when to step back and see the bigger picture, making sound judgements about priorities, risks and what matters most.
• You're passionate about turning evidence into impact, communicating findings through compelling publications, presentations and external engagement, and representing an organisation in public forums.
• You bring a strong research foundation, with a Masters or PhD or relevant real world experience, alongside the curiosity, collaboration and drive to find what works to build financial security low- and moderate-income households in the UK.

Don't worry if you think you don't have all the key skills, it might be worth taking the few minutes to apply as we're good at spotting potential.

At Nest, you’ll have access to a range of learning opportunities to learn, grow and build the skills you need to be successful in your role and career.
