Job description

About the role

Senior Managers in the Advancing Knowledge in Social Science team will play a key role in delivering ESRCs applicant‑led mode strategy.
Working directly with the Head of Economics and the Heads of Social Research and working closely with the Associate Director for Advancing Knowledge in Social Science, you will have responsibility for the effective delivery, management and monitoring of ESRCs refreshed applicant‑led mode schemes (Types of funding we offer ESRC UKRI).
Key to the success of ESRCs applicant-led mode strategy will be close and effective working with colleagues in the Grants Delivery Team and other relevant ESRC teams to launch and deliver a coordinated portfolio of funding opportunities.
You will have responsibility for a cluster of research fields within economic and social research where you will build and sustain strong relationships with the research community as well as with relevant government and industry partners. In doing so you will help drive a robust pipeline of proposals to ESRCs applicant-led mode schemes that deliver high-quality, breakthrough social science. You will also lead the investment management and performance monitoring of a portfolio of applicant-led mode grants.
You may be asked to provide line management and professional development for staff at Grades D and C, including setting objectives, supervising workload allocation, and supporting capability building to achieve consistent, high-quality delivery of funding activities.
You will also ensure strong connectivity with relevant UKRI priority programmes and other parts of ESRCs investment portfolio.
You will be expected to adopt innovation in funding processes, working to continually identify improved ways of funding and supporting applicant-led research.

We are particularly interested in how you work, not just what you have done. We are looking for applicants who demonstrate curiosity, creativity and a strong innovation mentality and who apply what they know in a way that fully aligns with UKRI values.

About the Team

Advancing Knowledge is a new team in ESRC which will actively shape and deliver our applicant-led portfolio. Initial goals for the team include:

Lead ESRCs refreshed applicant-led mode (ALM) strategy and oversee the transition to new schemes.
Actively shape ESRC's ALM portfolio:
Build a strong pipeline of innovative proposals through proactive engagement with the research community.
Shape the strategic allocation of funding to ensure ESRC delivers maximum value and impact.
Manage and improve the ALM portfolio:
Actively manage the ALM portfolio, including supervising performance and supporting grant holders to enhance the impact of their projects.
Drive continuous improvement in funding practices, embracing experimentation and the use of emerging evidence on improved ways of delivering research and innovation.
Drive integration across ESRC and UKRI:
Gather and share insight on fields, methods, and partner relationships.
Ensure strong collaboration with existing teams to ensure ESRCs ALM schemes support the delivery of the organisations wider vision and objectives.

Your Responsibilities

Work at the interface between strategic leadership and delivery with effective communication skills to develop and implement key priorities, policies, and strategies.
Lead the scoping and development, commissioning, and management of high-quality innovation and research investments in applicant-led mode.
Coordinate and manage a portfolio of activities to maximise impact and knowledge exchange across a portfolio of investments.
Build and develop strong relationships working across the ESRC, UKRI and external partners to ensure that investments are robust, informed, and impactful.
Work with others to ensure investments are appropriately managed, monitored, evaluated and their impact communicated.
Support and deputise for senior staff as required and undertake periodic work on areas outside of the team as needed, supporting the wider work of UKRI.
Provide inclusive and effective line management, where relevant, developing individuals to reach their full potential while proactively addressing any complex people and performance issues and supporting people through change, and modelling UKRI People Standards and Values.

This is not a comprehensive list, and we may require you to undertake other duties commensurate with the level of responsibility of this post.
