- Efficient project coordination that contributes positively to project outcomes. You will be responsible for making sure that all of System 2’s projects are delivered on time & on budget, through contract & budget management. Alongside this you will also need to coordinate meetings, fieldwork and events.
- Authentic collaboration with young people and families that improves impact. You will be responsible for developing effective methods for collaboration and codesign with young people and families.
- Effective partnerships. You will help manage communication, workflow and project coordination with partners for successful project completion and also to build long-term partnerships in the sector.

The type of person best suited to this role

We have thought a lot about the person best suited to the role, so we encourage you to read the full position description here before applying.

We would love to hear from you if you have experience in any of the following areas:

- Working with young people and families from disadvantaged backgrounds. This could be in a front line delivery (e.g. case worker) or supporting role (e.g. project officer).
- Building effective partnerships with suppliers, partners and/or funders in the NFP sector.
- Experience managing budgets.
- Experience taking ownership of and managing discrete project tasks on time and within budget.
- Experience coordinating and conducting interviews, focus groups and other qualitative research methods.

As System 2 is a start-up, the organisation will be pretty lean for the first 12 months, but you won’t be alone. You will work with the Executive Officer with direction from the Board, and be part of a collaboration of behavioural science experts, delivery partners, academics, other intermediaries and funding partners.
