About the Investment Team The Investment Team is responsible for selecting portfolio partners, managing our charity investments and supporting our portfolio partners to improve and scale their impact. The Investment Team also leads the Impetus Leadership Academy, a leadership development programme to support talent from ethnic minority backgrounds in the UK youth sector to progress into senior leadership roles. The team is made up of 18 people, including former teachers, charity chief executives, charity impact leads, management consultants, social investment portfolio managers and impact consultants. The team is led by a Portfolio Director who sits on the Senior Management Team. The Portfolio Director has 5 direct reports: a Deputy Portfolio Director, three Sector Leads (who lead our work in School engagement, School attainment and Employment Sectors) and an Impact Lead. Sector Leads line manage 6 Investment Directors. Investment Directors line manage Investment Managers (currently 5). Investment Directors and Investment Managers tend to primarily focus on a sector but might have mixed portfolios, depending on need, experience and interest. The Investment Team has a good track record of role progression. All four Leads and a number of our Investment Directors were promoted from within the team. The team is passionate, rigorous, determined, creative and warm. We come from a range of backgrounds and bring a broad mix of perspectives. We care deeply for our colleagues, our portfolio partners and the young people we serve. About this role We believe that all young people deserve to succeed in school and in work, whatever their background. As we enter a challenging time with rising inflation and a likely recession, our work feels more vital than ever before. The role of Investment Director presents an exciting opportunity to contribute meaningfully to the charities portfolio partners we serve, the team itself and the whole of Impetus. We support a portfolio of 23 high potential charity and non-profit partners in the youth sector, helping them deliver benchmark-beating employment and education outcomes for young people, and to grow. We believe the strength of our approach resides in three things: Building deep, trust-based, sustainable relationships with charity leaders by, investing time, kindness, integrity and honesty. Providing our charities multi-year, unrestricted funding to help them become sector-leading organisations and scale their impact. Offering tailored advice to charity leaders' most pressing and strategic questions, including their mission, programme design, performance management, growth planning, and financial resilience. Working with our portfolio partners is a privilege. The leaders we support are incredibly talented, passionate and keen for external advice, and the issues we work through with them are stimulating and stretching. Our senior management relationships are some of the most fulfilling relationships many of us have had in our careers, while the growth and impact performance of our partners are testament to charities' commitment to disadvantaged young people and the influence we have on their development. Charities and funders often comment on the quality of our people. Our team is analytical and data driven; we are deeply relational, low-ego and collaborative. We actively invest in our colleagues holding regular training and community of practice sessions, and use skills-based assessments to tailor development. As an organisation we seek to embed diversity of thought, background and experience in every aspect of our work and actively challenge our assumptions to better deliver change. Over the past two years we have taken action to help reduce racial inequality in the youth sector. In 2021 we launched our Connect Fund to support diverse leaders and their robust solutions to the entrenched employment gap faced by young people from ethnic minority backgrounds compared with their white peers. We have also built a highly regarded Leadership Academy for emerging youth sector leaders from ethnic minority backgrounds, with generous funding from State Street Foundation.

We have partnered with an incredibly exciting, fast-growing UK tax technology start-up that is rewriting the rules of the accountancy profession. Package of £85,000 with a 50% annual bonus + EMI Share Options Having already secured seed funding and currently progressing through a £1.5m round, they are building expert systems that transform incredibly complex tax legislation into clean, machine-readable code. Their platform is already live, integrated with Xero, and actively used by accounting practices supporting hundreds of SMEs. Up until now, the focus has been on flawless technical accuracy and functionality. Now, they need a Founding Product Designer to take complete ownership of the user experience and lead a ground-up redesign. There are no layers of bureaucracy, no endless sign-off processes, and no team to manage just yet. You will work directly with the founders (CEO/CTO) and sit face-to-face with users to turn a high-powered technical engine into a modern, intuitive, and genuinely beautiful B2B SaaS platform. The Role & Responsibilities As the solo design leader, you will be entirely hands-on, bridging the gap between complex backend data workflows and a seamless user experience. End-to-End Product Design: Own the UX/UI of the entire platform, including dashboard design, complex report builders, audit trail visualisations, and data ingestion flows. Build the Blueprint: Establish and maintain a scalable design system from scratch that the engineering team can build with efficiently. Deep User Research: Conduct direct research sessions with existing accounting firm clients. You will watch how they work, gather feedback, and translate those insights into definitive design choices. Shape the Brand: Define the visual identity of the product, moving it away from "boring compliance software" into a modern, distinct, and premium SaaS category. Domain Immersion : Work alongside in-house domain experts to understand UK tax logic, ensuring you can design with a true understanding of user intent. What We Are Looking For This role requires a unique blend of high-level systems thinking and flawless pixel-level execution. B2B SaaS Expertise: You have a proven track record designing complex tools where users interact with dense data points (e.g., fintech, compliance platforms, ERPs, dashboards, or advanced reporting tools). Systems Thinker: You look beyond individual screens. You care deeply about how data flows, how steps connect, and how to build user confidence through UI. 100% Hands-On: You thrive as a solo operator. You are excited to design day-to-day rather than managing or directing others. User-Obsessed: You love getting in front of clients, asking "why" repeatedly, and building based on real human behaviour rather than assumptions. Nice to Haves: Experience working within a fast-paced seed-stage startup (navigating pivots and rapid iteration cycles). Prior experience building design systems from scratch. A background or exposure to tax, accounting, or compliance tech. What Success Looks Like in 12 Months You will have launched a distinct visual identity that sets the company entirely apart from traditional, legacy tax software. Key user workflows will be completely redesigned based on your fresh user research. A scalable design system will be fully embedded into the engineering workflow. User research will be a core pillar of how the company builds product moving forward. To Apply If you are an ambitious designer who loves complex workflows and wants the financial upside of a generous equity and bonus structure, we want to hear from you. Please apply and include a link to your portfolio highlighting your experience with complex B2B SaaS data products. Ripple Recruitment is acting as an employment agency for this vacancy. My client is an equal opportunity employer committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace. Due to high volumes of interest, we can only respond to shortlisted applicants.
