About Nesta

Nesta is an innovation foundation. For us, innovation means turning bold ideas into reality and changing lives for the better. We use our expertise, skills and funding in areas where there are big challenges facing society.

Are you a delivery management expert who wants to apply your skills to some of the biggest social challenges facing the UK?

Join us at Nesta for a four month contract (part-time, starting in September 2025) to help us explore how we can apply delivery management techniques to our mission-driven work.

More information about the role and what we are offering can be found in the open call document.

If you are interested in applying, please send your CV or LinkedIn profile to [email protected] along with your answers to the following questions:

  1. What skills and experience would you bring to the residency? (Max 250 words)
  2. Identify an area within Nesta's missions (for example a portfolio or specific project) where delivery management techniques and tools could be applied. What value would it bring, and what type of challenges might you face applying them to that context? (Max 500 words)

The application deadline is Friday 8 August at 23:59pm.

We are keen to have the broadest lived experience possible represented as part of the programme. If you have had a non-traditional career in this sector, we would like to hear from you.
