NPC is a fiercely ambitious charity that works as a think tank and consultancy with the aim of improving the impact of the social sector.

You will have significant experience in a relevant environment (private, public, charity sectors) developing digital technology products or services and have a track record of working in an entrepreneurial and pragmatic way. As a brilliant communicator you will possess good networking and influencing skills and relish convening and developing robust and fruitful partnerships. If you are passionate about the potential of digital technology to drive social impact, obsessed with its need to be developed responsibly and inclusively, and creative about how to identify and develop opportunities to realise its potential, then this role may be for you
