Design Council has a global reputation for ground-breaking research and evaluation on the impact and value of design, such as our recent Design Economy. In 2019, we are shaping up a new research and evaluation programme to investigate the state of design in the UK, one that will consider design’s role in economic development, tackling societal challenges and delivering inclusive places. Simultaneously, we will be seeking to better understand our organisational impact and the role our demonstrator programmes play in advancing the understanding and use of design.

We are currently recruiting for a Policy & Research Analyst and an Evaluation & Research Analyst which sit within our Policy, Research & Communications Directorate incorporating Policy & Strategic Development, Research & Evaluation and Marketing & Communications.

The objective of this integrated team is to be pioneering policy influencers and thought leaders, champions of the use of data and the dissemination of insights from our programmes and key partners for our business development.

The Policy and Research Analyst will help push forward our knowledge about design, its applications and impact, and support our policy and thought leadership work.

The Evaluation and Research Analyst will enable us to examine and reflect on our own impact as an organisation.
