About the role

Join Imperial College London and Shape the Future of Large-Scale, Impact-Driven Interdisciplinary Research.

Are you passionate about driving real-world change through research? Do you thrive at the intersection of strategy, innovation, and societal impact? Are you motivated by the pressing societal challenges of our time – whether at the intersection of human and artificial intelligence, health and technology, environmental sustainability and/or new frontiers of space, security and telecoms? If so, we invite you to join Imperial College London as our Head of Impact Delivery for the Schools of Convergence Science.

We are building a team of impact-driven professionals with the skills and agility to turn research into real-world solutions. As we launch our pioneering Schools of Convergence Science – central to Imperial’s new Strategy – we are seeking a Head of Impact Delivery to lead a team working with the Co-Directors to take bold visions and turn them into measurable societal impact. These four Schools are designed to accelerate interdisciplinary research, amplify global influence, attract top talent and funding, and, most importantly, deliver tangible benefits in areas of critical importance to society.

Announced as a key pillar of Imperial’s new Strategy, the four Schools each focusing on one of the following technology areas will enhance our interdisciplinary research capacity, global visibility, talent attraction, and funding, driving societal impact to meet critical needs:

Human and Artificial Intelligence - We envision AI that augments human intelligence and benefits everyone. Understanding how we think and learn helps us build better AI. Our goal is AI that is sustainable, trustworthy, and truly human-centered.
Health and Technology - We envision health and wellbeing for all, focused on prevention over treatment. Despite progress, challenges like chronic illness and inequality remain. Solving them requires bold, cross-disciplinary collaboration
Sustainability - We envision a world where people live prosperously and meaningfully, in harmony with the planet. Our mission is to provide evidence and solutions for realistic, sustainable pathways, working closely with partners to drive change.
Space, Security and Telecoms - We envision the convergence of these areas for the benefit of everyone, in the short and the long term, with a mission to protect, connect, and know our worlds.

This role will be instrumental in creating, building and leading a high-performing impact delivery team that will enable and support the 16 Co-Directors (four across each of the four Schools) to achieve their individual School’s objectives.
