Capacity and Systems Development Lead in London

EIIP are recruiting new team members to support us to develop and scale our work. This is a pivotal moment. As the impact economy grows, we have a real opportunity to shape how capital is used – and who it benefits. Working at EIIP means: Being part of a growing and influential field, collaborating across sectors, and contributing to long-term systemic change.

We are looking for a lead to drive research, influence policy, and support national collaborative action to advance equality impact investing. This role sits at the centre of a growing movement—bringing together social investors, philanthropists, policymakers and equality organisations to reshape who capital flows to and how. You will lead our insight and influencing work while convening the national EII Taskforce that underpins collective action across the field. You are a thought leader able to collaborate with, and facilitate, other thought leaders in equal measure. Previous influencing experience and a good understanding of equality and social justice is essential. Optimally, this will be combined with knowledge of social investment and philanthropy ecosystems.

EIIP believes that tackling inequality requires transforming how capital flows through society. We are now entering a critical phase of growth, with a focus on delivering systemic change at scale.

We are seeking an engaging and collaborative lead to design and deliver a sector-leading national capacity‑building programme while supporting the development of regional/place‑based ecosystems able to advance and grow equality impact investing. You will work directly with investors and grant makers to embed EII in strategy, policy and practice and help pioneer a new generation of collaborative place‑based initiatives that connect frontline equality organisations’ needs and ideas with investors and philanthropists. Key to this role will be both generating and capturing cutting‑edge ideas and practical approaches, ensuring different parts of the equality impact investing movement share and benefit from others’ learning. You will be skilled in training, facilitation and capability building, with the ability to translate systems thinking into practical guidance others can use. Excellent relationship‑building skills, the ability to co‑create and co‑deliver with a wide range of stakeholders, and an understanding of equality and social justice will be essential.

We are looking for a Communications Lead to drive engagement across a growing national and regional movement. You will tell the story of equality impact investing while ensuring stakeholders are connected, informed and empowered to contribute. EIIP believes that tackling inequality requires transforming how capital flows through society. We are now entering a critical phase of growth, with a focus on delivering systemic change at scale. That means changing not only where money goes, but also who shapes decisions, whose voices are heard and what outcomes are prioritised. You will ensure EIIP’s work is visible, accessible and influential – and that diverse voices are actively included and amplified.
