Overview
Are you a policy or knowledge exchange professional who enjoys the challenges of working collaboratively? Are you interested in working on an innovative project that brings multiple partners together to tackle sustainability challenges in South Yorkshire? We have an exciting opportunity to join us at the South Yorkshire Sustainability Centre.
We are looking for someone with knowledge across the environmental, economic and social aspects of Sustainability, with the skills and experience to apply and translate this for a range of stakeholders in a policy context. This is a key role that will work alongside the Operations Director and Centre Manager to maximise the impact of the full research portfolio. You will be integral to our mission to connect world leading research with regional impact, addressing global problems at the local level.
In this varied and dynamic role, you will be responsible for developing policy briefings and materials, participating in regional networks and building new relationships that allows us to disseminate the research of the SYSC. You will excel in this role if you feel comfortable working with academics to synthesise and translate findings whilst also understanding the structures of local government and policy making eco-systems within a region into which these findings will be shared.
We build teams of people from different heritages and lifestyles from across the world, whose talent and contributions complement each other to greatest effect. We believe diversity in all its forms delivers greater impact through research, teaching, and student experience.
