This UK-focused role is ideal for someone enthusiastic about helping Quilter stand out in the industry.
This role goes beyond raising awareness, we're looking for someone who understands how inclusion, equity and wellbeing underpin business performance, and who can translate insight into action.

Drive critical firmwide initiatives, creating toolkits, programmes, and campaigns in line with the action plan.

Excellent communication skills - you are able to simplify complex issues, tailor messaging to different audiences, and influence through storytelling and insight. Project management capability - you have the proven ability to track, prioritise, and drive multiple concurrent projects to success. Outcome-focused - you care about what works, not just what's trending. You measure success by the change you enable, not just the activity you run. Strong awareness of DEI and wellbeing and the ability to coach managers at various levels to develop their understanding and capacity to become more inclusive. Ability to balance conflicting demands and priorities is essential. Proven experience of explaining complex topics and concepts to a broad range of audiences. An FS background is not mandatory, a learning and curious mindset with proven experience of sharing creative ideas to drive inclusion and bring all colleagues together is essential.
