Director of Ventures
Director of Ventures
The deadline for this vacancy has passed.
The aim of Unlocked Graduates is to break cycles of re-offending by developing
outstanding individuals to lead rehabilitation in prisons and throughout society.
The Director of Ventures is a new and exciting opportunity at Unlocked, and forms part
of the senior leadership team.
As Director of Ventures, you will oversee the development of new initiatives which
attempt to remove the barriers that participants and ambassadors come up against in
prisons. You will also build a strong community of alumni who will always be at the
centre of our broader impact as an organisation. You will keep this directorate
relentlessly focused on maximising impact and achieving our mission to break cycles
of reoffending.
The ventures team will create and develop innovative ventures. These will be inspired
by participant and ambassador feedback about what would enable them to have
greater impact. Your team will design and implement a system which enable us to
source, launch, and evaluate new ideas which can help participants and ambassadors
to break cycles of reoffending. You will then start launching pilots where they are
needed.
The second, connected function of your team will be overseeing our ambassador
community. There are four parts to this work: reach (communicating with as many
ambassadors as possible / actively seeking out where they are), networking
(introducing ambassadors to each other, and to other people who can support their
work), leadership (identifying and growing leadership within this group), and action
(supporting the group to take action).
