4How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at, and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.

Programme Delivery Rate

The percentage of major social impact programmes you're leading that are delivered on time and within budget.

Target · 90% of programmes delivered within original timeline and ±5% of allocated budget.

You launched our new youth mentorship programme in September as planned, and it came in £2,000 under its £40,000 budget. That's a win.

Social Return on Investment (SROI) Improvement

The year-over-year increase in the calculated social value generated per £1 invested in a signature programme you manage.

Target · Demonstrate a year-over-year SROI improvement of at least 10% for one signature programme.

Last year, our literacy programme had an SROI of £3.50 for every £1. This year, after your tweaks, it's £3.90 for every £1 – a 11.4% improvement.

Strategic Partner Retention

The percentage of our key non-profit partners (those receiving significant funding or engagement) that we retain year-on-year.

Target · Retain 95% of strategic non-profit partners annually.

Out of 20 core partners, we renewed agreements with 19 this year. The one we didn't renew was a mutual decision due to a shift in focus, not a breakdown in relationship.

Employee Engagement in Programmes

The participation rate of employees in the volunteering or giving programmes you design and manage.

Target · Achieve a 15% year-over-year increase in employee participation in your managed programmes.

Your 'Skills for Schools' programme saw 150 employees volunteer this year, up from 120 last year, which is a 25% jump. Great work getting people involved!

Programme Impact & Quality

The demonstrable depth and relevance of the social impact generated by your programmes, as well as the overall quality of their design and execution.

Positive feedback from community partners and beneficiaries in surveys
compelling case studies and impact stories
internal audit reviews confirming programme integrity
successful alignment of programme outcomes with stated Theory of Change.

Stakeholder Influence & Collaboration

Your ability to build strong relationships and influence internal and external stakeholders to support and contribute to social impact initiatives.

Being proactively consulted by other departments on relevant initiatives
securing cross-functional resources (e.g., Marketing support, HR expertise) for your programmes
positive feedback from NGO partners on collaboration quality
successful resolution of complex inter-departmental challenges.

Strategic Alignment & Innovation

How well your programmes align with our overall business strategy and material issues, and your ability to introduce innovative approaches to social impact.

Programmes directly address issues identified in our Materiality Assessment
new programme ideas are adopted by leadership
positive feedback from senior leaders on strategic contributions
successful piloting of new engagement models (e.g., virtual volunteering, pro-bono support).

5Would you like it

The honest version. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy

Making a Tangible Difference

You get a genuine buzz from seeing the real-world impact of your work, whether it's a child learning to read or a community garden flourishing. You're driven by the 'why' behind the work, not just the 'what'.

Reading a thank-you letter from a charity partner, or seeing photos of a successful community project you helped fund, genuinely makes your day.

Solving Complex, Nuanced Problems

You enjoy unpicking messy social challenges and figuring out how a corporate programme can genuinely contribute to a solution. You're not afraid of ambiguity and enjoy finding the win-win for both the business and society.

You thrive when presented with a new community need and tasked with designing a programme that addresses it effectively, considering all the variables.

Building Meaningful Relationships

You're energised by connecting with diverse groups of people – from community activists to senior executives – and building bridges between them. You see the value in collaboration and partnership.

You enjoy the process of getting to know new non-profit partners and finding common ground with internal teams to achieve shared goals.

What frustrates people

The 'Big Check' Photo-Op: Being pressured by Marketing or Comms to prioritise a highly visible, but low-impact, event just for a good photo, over more meaningful, long-term work.
Quantifying the Unquantifiable: The constant pressure to assign a hard ROI or a specific pound value to things like 'community trust' or 'employee morale'. It's tough, and sometimes feels impossible.
Navigating Executive Pet Projects: The political tightrope of managing requests to fund a board member's or C-suite executive's favourite charity, even if it doesn't quite fit our strategic framework. It happens.
Partner Capacity Issues: Working with passionate, well-intentioned community organisations that simply lack the administrative or technical capacity to meet all our corporate reporting requirements. It means more work for you.
The Cynicism Barrier: Constantly having to justify the value of your work to internal colleagues who see it as 'fluffy stuff' or a distraction from the 'real business'. It can wear you down.

What this role does not give you

A purely academic or theoretical approach to social change – you need to be practical and hands-on.
A role where you're always in the spotlight; much of the impact comes from behind-the-scenes work and empowering others.
A guaranteed, linear path without political challenges; you'll need to navigate ambiguity and influence without direct authority.
A role where every single project you design makes it to full-scale implementation; sometimes, things just don't get off the ground for various reasons.

6Who you work with

This role directly shapes our company's social footprint and reputation. Your programmes are the visible manifestation of our commitment to social purpose, influencing employee engagement, brand perception, and our standing as a responsible corporate citizen. You're essentially translating our values into action, which, let's be real, is pretty important.

Inside the business

HR & Internal Communications (for employee volunteering and engagement)
Marketing & External Communications (for storytelling and public reporting)
Finance (for budget management and SROI analysis)
Legal & Compliance (for grant agreements and regulatory adherence)
Product & Operations (for embedding social purpose into core business)

Outside the business

Non-profit organisation partners
Community leaders and local government representatives
Industry peers and best practice networks
Consultants and impact measurement specialists

7What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

Proven experience (5+ years) in designing, managing, and measuring social impact or community investment programmes, ideally within a corporate setting or a large non-profit.
Demonstrable ability to manage complex projects with multiple stakeholders, often with competing priorities. You'll need to show you can herd cats, essentially.
Strong analytical skills, including experience with quantitative and qualitative data analysis for impact measurement. You'll need to be comfortable with numbers and stories.
Excellent communication and presentation skills, with a track record of influencing diverse audiences, from community groups to senior executives.
A degree in a relevant field (e.g., Sustainability, International Development, Business, Social Sciences) or equivalent professional experience. We're open to different paths, as long as you've got the skills.

8What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Advanced Impact Analytics & Predictive Modelling

We're moving beyond just reporting historical impact to predicting future outcomes and optimising our investments. This means using more sophisticated statistical methods and potentially machine learning to understand what truly drives change and where our money can do the most good.

Quick win: Start experimenting with more advanced functions in Excel or your chosen data visualisation tool to uncover deeper patterns in your current impact data.

Integrated ESG Data Management

The 'S' in ESG isn't isolated; it's deeply connected to the 'E' and 'G'. You'll need to understand how our social impact data integrates with environmental and governance data for holistic reporting and decision-making. This means working more closely with our wider sustainability team and understanding the full data ecosystem.

Data normalisation across different ESG pillars · API integrations between various ESG platforms (e. · Data governance for consistent ESG reporting · Materiality linkages between social and environmen · Blockchain for supply chain transparency (social &

This quarter: Schedule informal chats with colleagues in environmental sustainability and governance teams to understand their data needs.

Volunteering for a non-profit in a strategic capacity to gain deeper insights into community challenges and organisational needs.

10How the AI economy is changing work like this

Before we ask anything of you, here's what we can already say about AI and work of this kind:

The new skill this role is being asked for: Ethical AI for Social Good

AI is becoming a powerful tool, but it comes with ethical implications. We need to understand how to use AI responsibly in our social impact work – from grant screening to impact analysis – ensuring fairness, avoiding bias, and protecting data privacy. Competitors are already using AI, and we need to make sure we're doing it right.

We'll only ever tell you what we can actually back up. No hype, no scare tactics.

The ten Future Fluencies

Zavmo analysis

The credential is what you can do today. These are what keep you valuable.

A qualification proves you can do the job as it's defined today. These ten are what decide whether you're still the obvious person for it in five years. They're the capabilities employers are now writing into senior roles faster than people are learning them. Zavmo weaves them through whatever you study, so you come out with both: the credential and the fluency.

The highlighted ones are the Fluencies your role leans on hardest, from how Senior Social Impact Programme Manager is actually changing. In about two minutes, the free confidence check asks where you stand on each of the ten. That's the whole check, and it's what makes the plan yours rather than generic.

12The team that's yours

No two people are taught the same way. This is one-to-one, not one-to-many.

Zavmo is a hyper-personalised AI learning platform. Twelve virtual tutors, each with a different way of teaching, and one orchestration agent that picks the right one for the moment. So every single lesson is shaped around you, your role, and the way you learn. Not a course everyone sits through. A conversation built for you, and no one else.

…and nine more, matched to you after your first chat. Meet all twelve

How far you got last time It picks up mid-thought. The tutor knows what you said, what you struggled with, and what it asked you to try.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be honest, programme management can involve a fair bit of repetitive work and data wrangling. Imagine if you could offload some of that, freeing you up to focus on the really strategic stuff – like building stronger partnerships and designing even better programmes. Well, you can.

We're investing in AI tools to make your life easier, not harder. For a Senior Social Impact Programme Manager, that means using AI to cut down on admin, speed up research, and even help you craft more compelling stories about our impact. It's about working smarter, not just longer.

Grant Application Screener

Use an AI model to perform initial, unbiased screening of grant applications. It'll check for eligibility criteria (like non-profit status, geographic reach, and alignment with our funding pillars) and flag the high-potential or incomplete proposals. This means you spend less time sifting through irrelevant applications and more time on the promising ones.

Impact Narrative Synthesizer

Feed all those quarterly reports and qualitative feedback from your non-profit partners into a GenAI tool. It can then synthesise key themes, identify standout success stories, and even draft a cohesive impact narrative for your internal and external reports. Think of it as your personal storytelling assistant, making those complex reports much quicker to write.

NGO Partner Discovery

Need to find new, high-impact non-profit partners in a specific area or thematic sector? Use AI-powered research tools to scan vast databases, news articles, and academic reports. It'll give you a concise summary of their work, leadership, and potential alignment with our goals, saving you hours of manual searching.

Stakeholder Comms Assistant

Use AI to draft personalised communications at scale. This could be anything from tailored thank-you notes to our top volunteers, to update emails for your NGO partners, or even summaries of programme results crafted specifically for different internal audiences like Finance or HR. It helps you keep everyone in the loop efficiently and effectively.

The honest bit

You’ve started things before

Most of them were built for a room full of people who aren’t you. A cohort moves on whether or not your week allowed it, and by the third week the thing you’re behind on becomes the reason you stop opening it.

There’s no cohort here, and no timetable to fall behind. Before anything starts, Zavmo asks when you’re sharpest and how long you can realistically sit down for, then builds the sessions around those answers. A bad fortnight changes your pace. It doesn’t put you behind.

And you only pay once you start learning. Searching and planning are free, and you can cancel any time — so the cost of finding out is an afternoon, not a year.

What it costs

Less than one coaching session. Every month.

A single career-coaching hour costs more than a month of this, and it ends when the hour does. Zavmo doesn't. It's £70 a month, about £2.30 a day, for a companion that knows a Senior Social Impact Programme Manager, works on the job you actually do, and keeps going at your pace rather than a timetable's.

Searching and planning stay free. You only pay when you start learning.
Your credits are yours. Regulated, and they don't vanish when a subscription ends.
Cancel any time and billing stops. No notice period, no minimum term.

Your path, personalised

You have the map. Walking it is the part we do together.

This route runs to 7 national skill standards. That is a real journey.

Zavmo shapes a learning experience as unique as you are. It fits how you learn, your pace and the work you already do. Every step stays benchmarked to recognised national standards. That’s the plan for becoming a Senior Social Impact Programme Manager: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.
