Job Description
Comic Relief is a leading, high profile charity which harnesses the power of entertainment to fundraise and uses such funds in support of its vision of a just world free from poverty. Comic Relief operates in accordance with the highest values, in a complicated political and societal environment.
The Investment Advisory Group (IAG) is the Comic Relief advisory group which advises on the implementation of the investment policy and monitors the investment portfolio. The IAG reports on such matters and recommends any changes to the Finance and Fundraising Committee. The IAG comprises Trustees and Independent Members.
Independent Members are appointed because they have skills, experience and qualities which facilitate good decision making and help ensure that the advisory group successfully discharges its responsibilities.
The time commitment
The IAG meets 4 times annually with additional ad hoc meetings if required.
Person Specification
It is expected that candidates should have the following characteristics:
current experience of making investment decisions
current experience of reviewing and monitoring an investment portfolio
up to date knowledge of the financial sector and the policies, laws and regulations pertaining to it
ability to perform an advisory ‘critical friend’ role with respect to all matters within the remit of this advisory group, including making recommendations to the Finance and Fundraising Committee.
first class communication and interpersonal skills
commitment to diversity and inclusion
commitment to Comic Relief’s mission to drive positive change through the power of entertainment and our vision of a just world free from poverty
Length of Appointment
The Independent Member initial term is three years or another term by agreement with the advisory group chair, subject to performance review. This can be extended for a further three-year period and for a further period of three years after that (therefore up to a maximum of nine years from the date of appointment).
Inclusivity at Comic Relief
We recognise diversity and inclusion are a source of strength in achieving our mission. We therefore welcome everyone, trusting what makes us different brings creativity, styles and experiences to help us collectively do our best work. That’s regardless of your gender, age, race, disability, religion, sexual orientation, and cultural identity. We especially welcome those from under-represented groups in modern grant-making and fundraising. We are on a journey, but if you join our team you will be part of a community that is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive environment where we want you to:
Be valued for being yourself
Do your best work, and be supported to break down barriers so you can succeed
Be heard, respected, and treated as an equal, whatever your level, experience or background
Be part of a team that is committed to making this happen – with our colleagues, partners, and contributors.
