In a Nutshell We are looking for a senior professional to lead our work with ‘Insiders’ — individuals working within the UK food industry who are committed to their organisations, and also to transforming them. The role involves supporting and expanding a high-trust group of senior professionals from major food businesses (typically £500m+ turnover), helping translate their insight into action, and seeding new insider groups both in other sectors (e.g. consulting, law, chemicals, tech, public affairs) and geographies (France and Germany). This is a rare opportunity to help shape an ambitious new organisation that exists to train, support and mobilise industry insiders working for a more just and regenerative world. You’ll be our first dedicated staff member and will play a key leadership role as we grow. About the Role You’ll lead the development and delivery of our work with the Insider group in food — curating a space for reflection, collaboration and bold thinking, while helping drive practical efforts to shift the sector. You’ll also contribute to the development of our methodology, support the creation of new Insider movements in adjacent sectors, and work with the wider team on influencing strategies, partnerships and organisational growth. This role is suited to someone who is comfortable working independently in a fast-evolving context, who combines strategic clarity with delivery skills, and who is motivated by the challenge of building something new. This is a hands-on role — you’ll be doing the work yourself, from identifying and engaging senior stakeholders to designing group sessions and writing up strategic insights. There is no delivery team to delegate to, so comfort with rolling up your sleeves is essential. What We're Looking For We expect you will bring around 10+ years’ experience in or around large companies — ideally with strong exposure to the UK food sector, whether from inside industry, consulting, investing or advisory roles. That said, we are open to applicants from adjacent industries if they can demonstrate the credibility, learning agility and strategic insight needed to work effectively with senior professionals in food. More than your CV, we’re looking for a thoughtful, action-oriented individual who: • Has experience building new initiatives or movements from scratch, • Is confident working in high-trust environments and supporting others to act boldly, • Is a strong facilitator — comfortable guiding group conversations and holding space for complex or sensitive discussions, • Can search for and recruit Insider candidates (including via cold outreach, LinkedIn etc), • Can work collaboratively with partners across civil society, philanthropy, business and media, • Brings a clear-eyed view on project management — able to write clearly, distil insight, and keep things on track, • Has a strong sense of purpose, and a belief in the role industry can play in meeting social and environmental challenges, • Emotionally resilient and comfortable working in complex, high-trust environments — including when navigating disagreement, organisational politics, or conflicting perspectives with calm, empathy and clarity. We are particularly interested in candidates who have had to build things with limited resource and navigate diverse stakeholder dynamics. Your Responsibilities You’ll lead across five core areas: 1. Lead and expand the Insider group in food • Identify and recruit new members while ensuring the group remains relevant, valuable and energising for those involved, • Hold regular, high-trust gatherings that support reflection, collaboration and action, • Develop deep understanding of the pressures and opportunities facing the UK food industry 2. Convert insight into influence • Work with Insider members and partners to develop campaigns or other interventions that help shift the sector, • Ensure insight from the group feeds into public debate, policymaking, or sector-facing strategies 3. Support the development of new Insider groups • Help establish Insider movements in adjacent sectors (e.g. consultancy, law, chemicals, big tech, public affairs), • Support early-stage development of Insider groups in France and Germany 4. Contribute to organisational growth, • Help shape our methodology for Insider group development, • Support wider team strategy, operations and culture, • Manage project delivery with external partners and support fundraising efforts 5. Help us build the ecosystem • Build relationships with aligned organisations, funders, journalists and advocates, • Play an ambassadorial role for the Insider approach and contribute to broader sector-building We're a good fit for someone who... • Thrives in a start-up environment where structure and systems are still forming, • Is motivated by long-term systems change rather than short-term outputs, • Is energised by the idea of helping people act from within the systems they know best, • Wants to work alongside thoughtful, values-driven collaborators, • Has the confidence to work solo, but the humility to know when to ask for support, • Is entrepreneurial, kind, and hardworking — someone who takes initiative, follows through, and approaches others with curiosity and respect. How to Apply • Stage 2: You’ll be invited to submit a full cover letter and/or attend a video call interview with one of our team to discuss your application., • Stage 3: We will be providing you with exercise (max time commitment 1hr) to complete. Stage 4: You’ll be invited to a second interview, likely in person. A note on inclusion Inside Track is still at an early stage, and this is a foundational hire. Our hope is that this role, and the organisation around it, will grow significantly over the next 12–18 months. We’re committed to building a team that reflects a wide range of experiences and backgrounds. If you’re unsure whether you meet all the criteria but feel this could be the right opportunity for you, we encourage you to apply and use your cover letter to tell us why.
