New Vacancies: Impact Development Manager and Business Development Manager

25 November 2025

Design HOPES are excited to be recruiting for two new roles on this dynamic research project.

Following a successful first phase of Design HOPES we have attracted additional funding to move from research into reality for our portfolio of place-based research and textile-based products.

We are looking to appoint enthusiastic and motivated individuals to work closely with colleagues across the project ecosystem to develop pathways to impact which include new policies and organisational practices, and the development of pathways to impact for a range of sustainable products and services.
