Job Description
The Senior Responsible Investment Ecosystems Manager for the UK will be responsible for managing the PRI’s relationships with its UK-based signatories and stakeholders cultivating a strong and engaged community of responsible investors.
As the primary point of contact for UK signatories, the Senior Manager plays a pivotal role in building trust and relevance with the investor community. The role combines relationship management, strategic outreach, public representation, and delivery of local engagement, including events and campaigns aligned with PRI’s global mission. It also involves close collaboration with colleagues across PRI, including teams focused on policy, communications, reporting and assessment, and investor initiatives, to ensure that UK-based investors are informed, supported and mobilised.
This is an externally facing, high-impact role well suited to someone who thrives in a mission-driven environment and brings both relationship-building skills and strategic insight into the UK investment landscape.

The role sits within the broader Responsible Investment Ecosystems (RIE) team, which reports into PRI’s Chief Responsible Investment Ecosystems Officer.
This role is hybrid, with an expectation to work from the PRI’s London office a minimum of two days per week, in line with PRI’s hybrid working policy. Staff are welcome to work from the office more frequently if they wish.
