The Resolution Foundation is seeking a new Director
The Resolution Foundation is seeking a new Director, to work closely with the Chief Executive to develop and deliver the overall strategy of the organisation; to drive the next phase of the Foundation’s work; and to lead our research and policy programme.
As stagnant living standards continue to be at the heart of the UK’s political and economic challenges, the Foundation has established a reputation as a rigorous data-driven think-tank with influence across the political spectrum. Seeking to maximise our impact, we want to build our capability to make even more innovative, practical and specific policy proposals. The Foundation is at an exciting moment: conducting influential research that addresses both long-term challenges as well as topical issues, making social investment in technology that improves work, and forging new collaborations.
