Research England also leads several cross cutting functions on behalf of UKRI and acts to enable these in delivering UKRI's mission to advance knowledge, improve lives and drive growth. We work in close partnership with UKRI, government, universities, and other stakeholders to ensure the sector is equipped to address national priorities, respond to emerging challenges, and drive long term impact. About the Role This newly created senior executive leadership role is designed to enhance the strategic capacity of Research England and position the organisation for the future. The role supports a number of high priority projects and programmes responding to challenges facing higher education institutions in England and leads organisational change within the wider context of UKRI strategy and direction, including the integration of additional responsibilities and functions into Research England's governance and operating models. In addition to leading strategic development, the postholder will hold executive responsibility for translating strategy into organisational design, change delivery, and sustained implementation across Research England.

As Chief of Strategy, you will work closely with the Executive Chair, Research England Council, and Senior Leadership Team to lead the development and embedding of Research England's long term strategic direction, while also supporting key projects that address sector wide issues.

This will include a new senior strategy role reporting into the Chief of Strategy. The precise configuration, resourcing, and line management arrangements of this team will be developed following appointment, taking account of existing capabilities across Research England and UKRI, and with a view to minimising duplication and disruption. The Chief of Strategy will take a phased and proportionate approach to organisational change, recognising the wider leadership context and the need for continuity and stability. Initial focus will be on priority areas where strategic coordination and change leadership add the greatest value, while laying foundations for longer term capability development and leadership succession. Key Responsibilities Strategic Leadership and Organisational Direction Lead the development and implementation of Research England's long term strategy, ensuring clarity of purpose and alignment with the wider UKRI mission. Shape the organisation's strategic posture and evolution, enabling agility, foresight, and long term impact in a changing environment. Lead Research England's organisational change agenda, working in close partnership with the Executive Chair, Senior Leadership Team, and UKRI Professional Services. Provide strategic leadership, coordination, and delivery oversight for change programmes, operating within agreed governance arrangements and respecting existing accountabilities for corporate, people, digital, and financial transformation. Work with the Executive Chair, Senior Leadership Team, and Council to ensure strategic priorities are coherent, credible, and forward looking. Translate strategic direction into organisational planning and delivery frameworks that support sustained impact and accountability. Execution and Organisational Alignment Drive strategic coordination across directorates to ensure alignment between strategic intent and operational activity. Identify and remove barriers to progress across teams, ensuring clarity of decision making and consistency of delivery. Lead the governance of major strategic programmes and transformation efforts, supporting colleagues to deliver with purpose and pace.

Research England also leads several cross cutting functions on behalf of UKRI and acts to enable these in delivering UKRI's mission to advance knowledge, improve lives and drive growth. We work in close partnership with UKRI, government, universities, and other stakeholders to ensure the sector is equipped to address national priorities, respond to emerging challenges, and drive long term impact. About the Role This newly created senior executive leadership role is designed to enhance the strategic capacity of Research England and position the organisation for the future. The role supports a number of high priority projects and programmes responding to challenges facing higher education institutions in England and leads organisational change within the wider context of UKRI strategy and direction, including the integration of additional responsibilities and functions into Research England's governance and operating models.

You will lead our commercial strategy, including partnerships, market positioning and commercial decision making, determining where we build, who we work with, what we sell, and how value flows across BBB. This role combines strategic design, on the ground partner engagement, structured analysis, and commercial deal making, and suits someone who thrives in fast moving, early stage environment where clarity is needed. We want to be clear that you do not need to be an expert in biochar, pyrolysis, engineering, or carbon removal to excel in this role (90% of us weren't before joining BBB). What matters most is that you are action oriented, decisive, comfortable creating structure from ambiguity, and energised by turning opportunities into real world outcomes, especially when it comes to climate tech. We are looking for someone who moves fast, takes ownership, builds strong relationships, and drives progress even when the path isn't fully mapped.

Lead partnerships and business development, building strong relationships with hosts, suppliers, corporate buyers, food producers, and local authorities.Develop commercial models and business cases that inform site selection, investment decisions and portfolio planning. Your commercial sign off will also be key for new sites. Scan for and secure grants, incentives and public sector funding opportunities that strengthen new project viability and support BBB's expansion. Lead cross functional projects from planning through to delivery, ensuring timelines, budgets and objectives are met Work cross functionally with Operations, Finance and Engineering to ensure commercial assumptions match delivery and operational reality. Establish commercial processes and tools, including reporting, forecasts, pipeline management, partner assessments and documentation. Represent BBB externally at meetings, conferences and industry events, helping position BBB as a leading UK biochar and carbon removal provider. What we are looking for: You're curious, quick to learn and happy picking up the essentials of biochar, pyrolysis and agricultural systems without needing to be a technical expert. A hands on, calm under pressure problem solver, able to navigate shifting priorities and keep things moving. A clear communicator and natural relationship builder, confident working with suppliers, partners, farmers, corporates and public sector teams. Organised and structured, with strong analytical skills and the ability to manage multiple workstreams while keeping an eye on detail. Comfortable in ambiguous, early stage environments, where you help create the structure rather than wait for it. 7-10 years' experience in climate tech, strategy, partnerships or commercial roles within energy, infrastructure, mobility or related sectors. Strong commercial judgement, including negotiation, financial modelling, and designing commercial frameworks for multi site or infrastructure deployments. Experience shaping deliverables, KPIs and cross team processes, and leading both strategy and execution. Familiarity with budgets, procurement and risk management, ideally in complex or multi stakeholder projects. A genuine passion for climate impact and helping scale carbon removal solutions hat work in the real world. What you will get from us: A cross-cutting hands-on experience working in a purposeful, impact-driven, fast-paced start-up at the frontier of climate tech innovation.
