Job Details
We are looking for a Research Officer to join our Campaigns, Policy and Research directorate.
This busy team uses evidence to raise the profile of issues affecting the Armed Forces community and influences politicians, officials, and the wider sector to improve policy and service delivery.
We are seeking an individual who is passionate about turning research into meaningful impact. You will play a key role in articulating the value and outcomes of our work, confidently communicating its significance to a diverse range of internal and external stakeholders.
Reporting to our Research Manager, some key responsibilities will include:

- Build and manage strong internal and external stakeholder relationships, representing the organisation and championing evidence-led practice.
You will be contracted to your home address, and you will perform most of your work remotely there using our collaboration tools to work with colleagues, with occasional travel (including monthly team meetings) to our London Head Office hub.
