Senior Investigative Researcher
We are looking for a bold and curious Senior Investigative Researcher who can uncover emerging trends, speak sensitively to women about their experiences, interrogate evidence and turn what they discover into compelling public stories.
At Fawcett, we want to find out what is really happening to women’s financial equality. What is happening for women in workplaces? How are women making money online? How are emerging labour trends affecting and exposing women?
We are looking for a bold and curious Senior Investigative Researcher who can uncover emerging trends, speak sensitively to women about their experiences, interrogate evidence and turn what they discover into compelling public stories.
This is not a traditional desk-based research role. You might come from journalism, research, campaigning or another investigative background; we care less about job titles and qualifications than your instinct to ask, “But is that actually true?”
Over 12 months, you will lead two major projects on women’s financial equality. We want this role to have significant freedom to follow emerging stories about how women make money and the trends and shifts that affect our financial equality. This could be content creator economics, extreme beauty trends, or the femosphere.
Location: Remote, UK-based
This is a home-based role, but the postholder will be required to travel regularly across the UK for meetings, events and other work-related activities. Applicants must therefore be based in the UK and able to undertake UK-wide travel as required.
The successful candidate must have the right to work in the UK. [If applicable: Fawcett is unable to provide visa sponsorship for this role.]
It is available at three or four days a week, with a salary of £40,000–£45,000 FTE. Applications close at 23:59 on 4 October.
