Demos
London
Voluntary basis with expenses reimbursed
Demos is a cross-party think tank founded in 1993 with the aim of bringing people into the public policy process and to develop solutions in a range of areas, from education and skills to technology, tax and housing. We are a champion of people, ideas, and democracy. We bridge divides. We listen and we understand. We are practical about the problems we face, but we are endlessly optimistic and ambitious about our capacity, together, to overcome them.
THE ROLE
We are a small, highly committed Board with an open, collaborative style of working in the interests of the mission of Demos. We value the different skills and perspectives that each
Board member brings and see our different backgrounds as a rich asset. We intend to diversify our board further and are particularly interested in individuals with experience and connections in areas where we may not previously have been strong.
The key areas of experience we would like to see on the board include:
- Experience of influencing major stakeholders and working in partnership with government
- Significant experience of fundraising from foundations (large and small) and working with family offices
- Recent senior business experience and networks
- Experience of any of our four focus areas: collaborative democracy, public service reform, a citizen economy and more trusted technology.
Our Board is capable and committed. You will be a confident and positive contributor and ambassador for Demos with strategic acumen, great communication and listening skills, and high capacity for self-reflection.
If you feel inspired by our mission and want to be part of our journey, we would love to hear from you.
