Head of Food
Based in London
£38754 - £43713 (plus London weighting of £3,550)
Forum for the Future is a non-profit organisation working globally with business and government to create a sustainable future. We aim to transform the critical systems that we all depend on, such as food, energy and finance, to make them fit for the challenges of the 21st century.
We are looking for an exceptional individual to lead and accelerate our food programme.
Food is one of the three key systems we are working on. We want to deliver a series of collaborative system innovation projects with our partners and other stakeholders, which will establish Forum as an international thought leader in both the sustainable food systems and system innovation.
This senior level role will require an excellent knowledge of the way that the food system works, including an in depth knowledge of food supply chains and the food retail sector (UK and globally); experience in leading and delivering cutting edge projects; good team management and excellent business development skills. A basic knowledge of systemic change and innovation is also desirable, as is being sympathetic to looking for radically different and new solutions for the sector.
This is a varied and creative role, involving leading strategy development and a strong team, working on a range of food projects, and building the impact and profile of our work with key stakeholders. The appointed person will be a senior member of the Forum team, ideally placed to create a really profound impact.
