Base pay: £60k-70k Principal level as per our Career Development Framework. Bonus: 10% depending on company performance EMI Share Options: £10,000 We've calculated this compensation in line with our Benchmarking Philosophy . Opportunity for an Associate Director of Research & Insights to join a high-growth technology start-up focused on eliminating fuel poverty and improving living standards in social housing through data insights. Role: Associate Director of Research & Insights Reporting to: Head of Customer Success Location: This is a remote-first role with compulsory attendance of Quarterly Company Offsite days. Our mission: At Switchee, we believe that everyone deserves to live in a decent home and that the environments we inhabit have a massive influence on our ability to enjoy life and prosper. One in five households in the UK live in social housing, a sector with the right values at its core but that has historically struggled to deploy innovations in the home. Many residents still can't afford to heat their homes, and live in cold, mouldy properties they can't be proud of. We believe that radical innovation in internet-connected technology can ensure that every resident, every day, is living in a home that allows them to succeed. That's why our products are built not just on great technology, but on an understanding of what people want from the space they live in. This approach led us to reimagine the most mundane household object: the thermostat, into a product that automatically reduces energy bills, looks great, and offers control to those who want it. We are also revolutionising the way social landlords manage their housing stock with an obsessively tailored SaaS property dashboard and handy alerts on things like when the boiler is going to break.

Switchee has had great success in working with individual Housing Provider departments to invest in and deploy the Switchee solution. However, we have found that the key to Enterprise scale customer relationships is working with, and challenging, the Executive and Senior leadership teams of housing providers from the outset, with genuine insight that helps them understand the challenges they face in delivery of their strategic outcomes. You will need to possess the gravitas to engage with Academics, C-level and deliver thought leadership as a peer at sector events. You are curious and will understand influences and drivers of the sector (both current and future). You will be research driven with the ability to pick out the insight and trends from Switchee data within the context of the sector influences at large.

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a regional team across three dioceses (Worcester, Gloucester and Hereford) in a collaborative venture towards achieving Net Zero Carbon in our operations by 2030. This role is a key part of the first phase of our ongoing plans, initially as a fixed-term post to August 2026 funded by the Church of England's Environment Programme, to bring expertise, build capacity, set in place decarbonisation plans and manage an initial set of projects. The funding will enable each diocese to increase its expertise and capacity across the three main areas of emissions: church buildings, clergy housing and voluntary aided (VA) schools. Further appointments attached to the Diocese of Worcester (team leader and with a church buildings specialism) and the Diocese of Hereford (with an education setting specialism) will be team colleagues and you will work collaboratively with them and the existing teams working on church buildings, housing and schools across each diocese to coordinate expertise and knowledge thus enabling an integrated approach to carbon reduction measures across the region. While not primarily a fundraising role, we expect some involvement in the securing of funding will be needed, from internal and external sources including statutory funding, in order to enable the work to go ahead. This role brings strategic oversight and direction to the overall programme of decarbonisation for the Diocese of Gloucester, as well as bringing a specialism in the decarbonisation of domestic properties across the partnership. While the decarbonisation of heritage buildings will be held most significantly for the Worcester based team colleague, a few vicarages and schools also bring this challenge, there being some older stone built properties in the portfolio alongside more modern constructions. The role requires a postholder with a good understanding of the challenges of retrofit decarbonisation who is able to take a strategic view to support the development of this work towards our 2030 target. For a candidate with clearly transferable experience, we would be willing to assist in gaining first-hand knowledge and learning relevant to the specific portfolio covered by this post. If you are passionate and informed about reducing carbon emissions and addressing climate change within the buildings sector, possess strong strategic planning and project management skills, and have deep expertise in carbon reduction strategies we encourage you to apply. To apply, please send your completed application form by an email or to Recruitment, Church House, College Green, Gloucester GL1 2LY. To arrange an informal discussion please contact Alice Clark on or email . The closing date for applications is 9am on Thursday 2 nd May 2024, Interviews will take place on Thursday 16 th May 2024. Please note that the Diocese follows Safer Recruitment practices. CVs are not accepted, no agencies.
