Institute for Jewish Policy Research
Major Partnerships Manager (trusts, foundations and individuals)
£27,000 - £33,000 pro rata (£45,000 - £55,000 FTE)
24 hours per week (equivalent to three days)
Permanent
London, NW1
The Institute for Jewish Policy Research (JPR) is a London-based research organisation, consultancy and think tank that specialises in contemporary Jewish issues. We have stood at the forefront of Jewish community research for several decades and are responsible for much of the data and analysis that exist on Jews in the UK and across Europe.
Our aim is to advance the prospects of Jewish communities by conducting research, promoting informed debate and developing policy in partnership with those best placed to influence Jewish life.
Our work covers a wide range of topics including: population trends; economics; health; education; employment; charitable giving and volunteering; social care and welfare; antisemitism; Israel-Diaspora relations; Jewish identity; social and political attitudes; and community development.
Our income is derived from three sources: a £3 million endowment; commissioned work delivered on a consultancy basis; and both restricted and unrestricted funds raised from trusts, foundations and individuals.
Generating voluntary funds for JPR involves a unique set of challenges. In particular, the type of research and policy work we undertake is not a mass appeal type of cause; its more intellectual and strategic than emotional and spontaneous.
The key to success in this role involves identifying potential trusts/foundations and individual donors who are driven by data and ideas and want to have a strategic impact on Jewish communal life and issues.
The role requires a candidate who is similarly driven by the work that we do, eager and able to understand the detail and nuances of our most recent work, up-to-date with the latest developments in communal and global affairs, and able to communicate our mission in a sophisticated and compelling way, both verbally and, in particular, in writing.
How to apply
Before applying, candidates are strongly advised to familiarise themselves with recent JPR work by looking at the JPR website , as well as other major reports on contemporary Jewish affairs in Europe and beyond (www.jpr.org.uk/archive), in order to get an idea of the type of work involved and JPR's research agenda.
Application is by way of CV and a Supporting Statement that outlines your suitability for the role and why you are interested.

Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
