We are recruiting for a Research and Engagement Officer

We are currently recruiting for a Research and Engagement Officer to join our growing team and work with us on commissioned research projects.  This is an exciting and unique opportunity to join Northern Ireland’s only independent think tank.

Pivotal is an independent think tank looking at economic and social issues in Northern Ireland. We are ambitious for the future, seeking to promote policy solutions that improve the lives of everyone who lives here. Pivotal is not politically aligned and acts in the public interest for the common good.

Pivotal uses research, data and evidence of what works to influence public policy. We work together with the public, policy makers, politicians, academics and others.

This role is based at Pivotal’s office in University of Ulster Jordanstown campus ( but currently home working due to Covid restrictions) .  There will be an expectation of occasional working outside normal hours depending on business need.

The appointment will be made for 12 months initially, with the possibility of extension subject to funding being in place.
