Who we are: Our mission is to shape a fairer future through better work. Our goal is a good society in which everyone can flourish through this new technological revolution. Our belief is that creating and sustaining good work is the best way to achieve this goal and ensure that innovation and social good advance together. Through delivering and convening research which informs the development of practical, policy, and regulatory solutions, we seek to address three core challenges: Changing Work: The risks and rewards of transition are not evenly spread meaning that structural inequalities are increasing. Shifting Power: New technologies are driving big shifts in power and challenging traditional mechanisms of governance and accountability at work. Prioritising People: People's lived experience, values and agency are being neglected in shaping futures of work. We believe good work can be an outcome of technological change, if and when: government prioritises and creates; regulators steer and intervene; industry develops and models; civil society is engaged and informs; academia researches; and industry prioritises and requires. Role Overview: As IFOW grows its network of partners, we have created a new role for someone who excels in relationship building. We are looking for a strategic thinker and communicator, who can build meaningful professional relationships, translate theoretical and practical ideas, and balance different needs in real time.

This includes driving membership of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on the Future of Work, for which IFOW is the Secretariat and Research Partner. Exploratory: the Exploratory meets our strategic ways of working to build capacity and connecting people. Here this role will establish relationships with professional bodies representing workers who hold responsibility for AI and develop partnerships with local government relationships and partnership models to build capacity and connections to respond to knowledge generated in the Observatory. Work will involve establishing routes-to-market for IFOW 'knowledge products' to better achieve our public education objectives, while also developing a sustainable business model. Sandbox: The Sandbox is an environment through which IFOW evaluates its framework for responsible adoption of AI at work, feeding insights back to UK regulators. Here this role will support recruitment of industry partners who share our mission and objectives, establish strong contractual relationships to govern action research processes, and support new academic research partnerships as appropriate.
