"Reporting to the Commercial Director, the ideal candidate will have considerable experience brokering relationships within government organisations and donors, designing engagement strategies and developing programs targeting public sector reforms. A strong understanding of public sector innovation and technology trends, and experience operating within global governance or innovation networks in the UK and internationally, is desirable.

You will be an able and confident networker, capable of building and maintaining relationships with key decision makers including senior public sector officials, donors and philanthropic investors. You will demonstrate a willingness to learn, a professional, customer-focused view and be able to see things from an external organisation’s perspective. You will work with the commercial and delivery teams to formulate and execute strategies which will provide the ODI with sustainable and impactful work based around our core values.

  • Proactively build and maintain relationships with prospective government clients, delivery partners and donors in the UK and globally.
  • Build the new business pipeline by scoping for partnership opportunities, developing new relationships with public sector leaders and leveraging existing relationships for new opportunities.
  • Designing programmes of work, interventions and products to meet government policy and reform objectives, including insights into sector needs and innovation trends.
  • Regularly attend and represent the ODI, including presenting and running workshops, at UK and international events.
  • Supporting the Commercial Director in the development of the ODI’s public sector value proposition, pulling together evidence what the ODI has done, where it has delivered value, and using this to develop plans to grow the ODI’s outreach with governments around the world.
  • Secure new bookings to meet the ODI’s sale targets and maintain an accurate pipeline for the benefit of the whole of the ODI.
  • Ensure consistent and proactive public sector engagement by the ODI in our key strategic areas and sectors.
  • Contribute to the ODI and sector’s thinking about public sector reform and innovation through thought leadership and external communication.
  • Deliver consulting and advisory services where your expertise is required (for example, presentations, advice to senior government leaders, facilitating high-level workshops, sitting on panels).
  • Oversee public sector programme design and proposal writing by preparing effective descriptions of the ODI consulting services and interventions for UK and internationally, working alongside other members of the team (e.g. project managers, data experts, delivery team)
  • Developing external communications and other collateral; working with the production team to create compelling outputs.

Due to the nature of the work, this position is likely to involve non-core hours as well as both UK and international travel."
