Summary
The role will require the candidate to effectively communicate complex economic concepts to non-specialists, to maximise the impact and visibility of analysis and ensure policy colleagues and cultural organisations fully understand and are aware of the analysis. This will be both written (blogs, infographics, etc) and verbal (presentations, etc) and taking a creative approach to the dissemination of CHC.
You will also be required to manage a quality service to effectively lead secretariat responsibilities of the CHC Governance structure (including managing the Advisory Board and Steering Group), but also make effective decisions to prepare a robust and compelling evidence base in a novel and creative way.
While the focus is on Culture and Heritage Capital, you will play a proactive role in the CCI spoke and the wider community across DCMS. You should be able to work together to think strategically about the role of evidence and analysis within the wider policy space, and link up with other areas across DCMS, ALBs and our stakeholders.
Key responsibilities:
- Communicate and disseminate research findings to key audiences, including the CHC Advisory Board, presenting findings in innovative and impactful ways, including reports, graphics, or speaking at conferences and seminars.
- Write blogs, research articles and papers in a clear and concise way to improve the outreach of the Programme.
- Provide secretariat responsibilities to CHC, managing various governance structures including the CHC Advisory Board and Research Expert Groups, which both include key leaders and academics from across the sector.
- Engage with policy teams, world leading academics and experts on arts, humanities and economics to improve the robustness, visibility and impact of CHC analysis.
- Proactively promote CHC across the department and government, and play an active role in the wider DCMS community, to seek opportunities for collaboration in analysis and research to achieve synergies across sectors and policy teams.
- Build strong analytical partnerships with our external organisations, working together to leverage market intelligence and sector expertise, build capability, and lead in the sector.
