Role Description

Role Description

Reporting directly to the Founder, the role owns and drives firm‑critical initiatives that shape the frontier of impact funding. The role carries primary accountability for strategic projects, thought leadership, and firm‑building infrastructure. It ensures that complex, open‑ended challenges are translated into clear workplans and executed with rigour, while enabling the organisation’s advisory practice to operate at peak efficiency.


Responsibilities

1. Special Projects & Firm Building Initiatives

  • Lead a portfolio of key initiatives from inception to outcome, ensuring structure, rigour, and follow‑through.

  • Act as the primary driver of the Horizon Leadership Council (HLC), positioning its strategy, defining long‑term missions, cultivating funders at the C‑level, and aligning partners to impact pathways.

  • Partner closely with the Founder on firm‑building: attending key meetings, preparing board‑facing materials, designing new business lines, and mobilising resources for growth.


2. Thought Leadership & Strategic Firm Operations

  • Shape external thought leadership across channels (LinkedIn, website, newsletter), owning the content calendar and producing insights in collaboration with leadership.

  • Support recruiting: design job descriptions, employee value propositions, and engage talent communities with Practice Leads and the People & Operations Manager.

  • Own and refine knowledge management systems, consulting workflows, documentation standards, and institutional memory.

  • Oversee operational systems strategically, ensuring workflows evolve with organisational needs.


3. Select Client & Project Delivery

  • Contribute to select client‑facing workstreams alongside the Founder, applying structured problem‑solving and analytical skills.

  • Support project delivery through research, stakeholder synthesis, and preparation of deliverables.

  • Build familiarity with core methodologies: outcomes‑based financing, Pay‑for‑Success structures, blended finance, and coalition design.


Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Economics, or related discipline.

  • Minimum 4 years in consulting, strategy, programme leadership, or similarly analytical and delivery-oriented roles.

  • Demonstrated ability to structure ambiguous problems into clear plans with measurable milestones.

  • Strong written communication skills for funder materials, institutional narratives, and board documents to a high standard.

  • Senior stakeholder management experience, including interfacing with C‑level leaders.

  • Prior exposure to fundraising, donor engagement, or partnership development is advantageous.

  • Familiarity with social impact, philanthropy, government, or development finance sectors is an advantage but not required.

  • Strong strategic and analytical skills with attention to detail.

  • Proven ability to execute with excellence — owning timelines, coordinating stakeholders, and delivering under pressure.
